The Supreme Court (SC) recently said it is considering having a sign language interpreter for the hearing impaired during Constitution bench hearings.
Generally, most of the cases before the SC are heard by a division bench (2 or 3 judge members).
If a case is likely to have a larger national impact or it is likely to decide the law for good, a constitution bench is formed.
Article 145(3) of the Constitution makes it clear. It says “any case involving a substantial question of law as to the interpretation of the Constitution” must be decided by a Bench of at least five judges.
Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court will have five or more judges of the SC.
To date, the largest-ever Constitution Bench was that of 13 judges in the case Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala.
Who forms the Constitution bench
The Chief Justice of India has the power to set up a Constitution bench, and he is the one who refers cases to it.
