(2) Nothing in clause (1) shall apply to any judgment, determination, sentence or order passed or made by anycourt or tribunal constituted by or under any law relatingto the Armed Forces.

What this means

  • The index files this text under article 136 of the Constitution of India.
  • The index files it under the chapter heading “CHAPTER IV.—T HE UNION JUDICIARY”.
  • The passage runs to about 66 words.

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) Notwithstanding anything in this Chapter, the Supreme Court may, in its discretion, grant specialleave to appeal from any judgment, decree, determination,sentence or order in any cause or matter passed or madeby any court or tribunal in the territory of India.”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

No rights vocabulary from our fixed word list appears in this passage, so no plain-language reading is offered for it.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
