At least 3 important judgments will be pronounced tomorrow by Supreme Court
But the most important of those according to me would be the one on Tribunals because it could pronounce on issues touching upon Parliament and alleged circumventing of Rajya Sabha using money bill route

The Finance Act 2017 is under challenge in that case and one of the main grounds of challenge to it is that it was passed as Money Bill thus amounting to a fraud on the Constitution.
Since, the Rajya Sabha can only suggest amendments to money bills, all suggestions made by Rajya Sabha regarding the Bill were junked by the Lok Sabha and the Act came into force on April 1, 2017
A Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court had dealt with a very similar issue last year - #AadhaarAct.
In a highly debatable judgment, Justice AK Sikri writing for majority had cleared the passage of the Aadhaar Act as Money Bill.

One judge had however dissented in #Aadhaar case holding categorically that the Passage of Aadhaar Act in the garb of a Money Bill was a fraud upon the Constitution.
That judge is also on the Bench tomorrow pronouncing the validity of the Finance Act, 2017.
