The outcome of the Supreme Court case "Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association and Another Vs. Union of India" was that the Court struck down a particular amendment related to the appointment of judges in High Courts. This amendment had been made through the Constitution (Ninety-ninth Amendment) Act, 2014, and allowed the President to appoint judges to the High Courts with the consent of the Chief Justice of India. The Court held that this amendment was unconstitutional as it violated the independence of the judiciary, which is a basic feature of the Constitution.
