Delhi High Court's GST intervention on air purifiers sparks debate on judicial overreach

The Delhi High Court's intervention in a PIL seeking a GST reduction on air purifiers from 18% to 5% has raised concerns about judicial overreach. The court questioned why GST couldn't be lowered by classifying purifiers as medical devices and urged the GST Council to meet. However, the Centre argues this bypasses the legislative process, as GST rates are decided by the GST Council, a body comprising the Centre and states, requiring a majority vote.
