Parliament has absolute prerogative to enact law, not bound by Centre's undertaking: SC

NEW DELHI: (Feb 27) The Supreme Court on Friday said Parliament has the "absolute prerogative" to enact a law and it is not bound by the undertaking which may have been given by the Centre before the court.

The observations came from a bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi which was hearing pleas questioning the validity of Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Section 152 of BNS deals with the acts endangering sovereignty, unity and integrity of India.
