'Learn Some Law, Don't File These Kind Of Petitions' : Supreme Court Rebukes Lawyer For Filing 'Misconceived' PIL

CJI rebuked the petitioner, “ You are back again? Last time I told you not to file such PILs….somebody will impose costs of on you. Now this direction in PIL that all state govt. Must comply with court orders… we were gentle on you last time, but you have persisted on filing these PILs . Please do something else. If you have a little free time you can attach yourself to a Senior Lawyer, learn some law and not file these kinds of petitions”

The PIL sought directions to the state governments to constitute ' Courts Special Cells' overseeing compliance of orders passed by the Courts and to issue circulars to the government departments to follow the orders of the Court.

The CJI explained that the Court need not pass any such specific directions as the remedy already lies in filing a contempt petition in a situation when the state authorities do not follow the orders of the Court. He said, “ We cannot pass a general order like this. That is the law, you have to comply with the orders passed by the Court”

Observing the PIL to be 'misconceived', the Court dismissed the matter.
