What’s the big deal if budget presented on Feb 1, which law violated? SC asks PIL petitioner
The Supreme Court on Friday refrained from admitting PIL against the Centre’s decision to present Union Budget on February 1. Deferring the PIL hearing to January 20, the apex court sought material and legal provisions that bars presentation of budget before Assembly Elections. "What’s the big deal if budget is presented on February 1 instead of March 1? Which law is violated by this?" the top court asked the PIL petitioner Manohar Lal Sharma. The bench also said that at present it doesn’t find any provision in support of plea.
