"The law laid down by the Supreme Court Constitution Bench judgement in 1994 in S. R. Bommai's case says that no law can be enacted by the Parliament or by a state legislature on the basis of religion. According to me, the CAA, distinguishing between persons on the basis of religion, as per Bommai, is unconstitutional", expressed former apex court judge, Justice V. Gopala Gowda on Friday. He was speaking at the launch of the book ' Citizenship, Rights and Constitutional Limitations ', authored by senior advocate Dr. K. S. Chauhan and published by Mohan Law House. The event was also attended by former Vice President of India Hamid Ansari. He indicated the factual situation prevalent in Assam, where the NRC exercise was undertaken in 2019, and where he had gone as a fact-finding committee chairman- "There are lakhs of people who were migrants decades and decades back but can't prove their citizenship today. Justice Gowda defined the present times as one when "the countrymen are facing a great crisis and the rule of law is at stake and the problems of citizenship rights are enormous".
