Constitutional challenge lapsed as Judicial Impact Assessment was left open for determination in a separate proceeding.

The challenge to the constitutional validity of the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Acts, 1999 and 2002 was treated as no longer surviving. The question of Judicial Impact Assessment was held to fall outside the original writ petition and to depend on statistical data, making it unsuitable for final determination in that proceeding. That issue was therefore left open for consideration in an appropriate proceeding, and no merits determination was made on it before the writ petition was disposed of.

Issues: Whether the challenge to the constitutional validity of the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 1999 and the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 2002 survived, and whether the question of Judicial Impact Assessment could be finally adjudicated in the present proceeding.

Analysis: The earlier challenge to the amendment Acts was treated as no longer surviving. The question of Judicial Impact Assessment was held to be outside the original writ petition and one that depended on statistical data, requiring examination in an appropriate proceeding. The matter was therefore not finally determined on that aspect and was kept open.

Conclusion: The constitutional challenge did not survive, and the Judicial Impact Assessment issue was left open.

Final Conclusion: The writ petition was concluded without a merits determination on Judicial Impact Assessment, and the matter was disposed of.
