Mithu v. State of Punjab, [1983] 2 SCC 277 Chandrachud. C.J., said (at 284):

" .... that the   last word on the question of justice and fairness does not rest with the legislature. Just as reasonableness of restrictions under clauses (2) to (6) of Article 19 is the for the courts to determine, so is it for the courts to decide whether the procedure prescribed by a law for depriving a person of his life or liberty is fair, just and reasonable."
