4.    It is submitted by Mr. K.K. Sharma, learned senior counsel<\/p>\n
appearing for the petitioners that the respondent No.5, Sh. Anna Hazare,<\/p>\n
is ineligible for being a member of the drafting committee as certain<\/p>\n
allegations have been established by Commission of Enquiry appointed<\/p>\n
by the Government of Maharashtra vide notification dated 1st September,<\/p>\n
2003 in exercise of power under the Commissions of Enquiry Act, 1952.<\/p>\n
Be it noted, Justice P.B. Sawant, a retired judge of the Supreme Court of<\/p>\n
WP(C) No.2671\/2011                                           Page 4 of 6<\/span>
\n India, appointed as the one man Commission to enquire into the<\/p>\n
allegations and mal administration into matters as specified in the<\/p>\n
notification against certain persons which included respondent No.5.<\/p>\n
Learned senior counsel would submit that when the same have been<\/p>\n
established by a Commission of Enquiry, the respondent No.5 should be<\/p>\n
removed from the drafting committee and the reliefs prayed for by the<\/p>\n
petitioners should be granted.\n<\/p>\n
5.    Mr. A.S. Chandhiok, learned Additional Solicitor General along<\/p>\n
with Mr.Neeraj Chaudhary, learned counsel appearing for respondents<\/p>\n
No.1 to 4 submitted that the resolution passed by the Ministry of Law and<\/p>\n
Justice is not justiciable in a Court of Law as scope of judicial review<\/p>\n
could not extend to the pre-enactment stage. He has referred to various<\/p>\n
provisions of the Constitution of India. The learned ASG would further<\/p>\n
submit that it is not a public office and, hence, a writ of quo warranto<\/p>\n
cannot be issued. It is the further submission of Mr. Chandhiok that it is<\/p>\n
in the domain of the Executive to constitute such committees and when<\/p>\n
there is no statutory provision and the said action does not violate any<\/p>\n
constitutional mandate, this Court should not interfere.<\/p>\n
6.    Having heard learned counsel for the parties, it is manifest that<\/p>\n
members of the Committee do not hold public office and, hence, there<\/p>\n
cannot be any eligibility criteria. Therefore, the concept of quo warranto<\/p>\n
WP(C) No.2671\/2011                                            Page 5 of 6<\/span>
\n is not applicable.   A drafting committee has been constituted which<\/p>\n
pertains to a pre-enactment stage. We have our grave doubt whether the<\/p>\n
same can be scrutinized while exercising the power of judicial review.<\/p>\n
The Constitution casts an obligation on the part of the Court while<\/p>\n
exercising power of judicial review to test the legislation in the<\/p>\n
constitutional backdrop, but not at a stage when the drafting of a Bill is in<\/p>\n
process. It is a resolution passed by the Ministry of Law and Justice for<\/p>\n
drafting of a Bill. It can be treated as an internal matter of the Executive<\/p>\n
and exclusively in the domain of Executive.          The suitability of the<\/p>\n
persons, we are disposed to think, cannot be a matter of judicial review,<\/p>\n
more so in a matter of the present nature.\n<\/p>\n
7.    Resultantly, we do not perceive any public interest involved in this<\/p>\n
writ petition and, accordingly, there is no need to call for any kind of<\/p>\n
counter affidavit\/return from the respondents. The writ petition does not<\/p>\n
deserve to be entertained for the purpose of adjudication and,<\/p>\n
accordingly, the same stands dismissed.<\/p>\n
