Singhvi: Even Art 142 can't be used to build... ... Stray Dogs Case : Live Updates From Supreme Court Hearing [Day 3]

Singhvi: Even Art 142 can't be used to build something for which edifice is not there. Also, I may say, Amici are law advisors. They are not domain experts. Your lordships should have both. Matters like this require domain expertise. In Aravalli case, 90% members of Committee were bureaucrats. Reconsideration led to domain experts coming in. Amicus is only additional legal input. Domain experts would improve quality of the Court's order. Moreover, your lordships have passed an interim order, but it has all trappings of a final order. The elements of finality are - (a) substantive issues are decided or not (clearly they are) (b) are they permanent in nature (answer is yes) (c) expense (d) permanent constructions. That order had no hearing, domain experts. November order had to be a bridging gap, but nature of order is irreversible.
