Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition, emphasizing that it is not merely a fifth court of appeal but the final arbiter of justice, intervening only in cases of manifest injustice or substantial public importance. The Court reiterated that it exercises its powers sparingly and only when there is a supreme need for intervention. In this case, the petitioner failed to demonstrate such a need, leading to the dismissal of the petition.
