MUNDRIKA PRASAD SINHA vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court held that the definition of Government Pleader under Section 2(7) of the Code of Civil Procedure allows the Government to appoint multiple Government Pleaders and Assistant Government Pleaders without vesting sole control in one individual. The Court dismissed the petitioner's writ challenging the Government's decision to allocate cases to Assistant Government Pleaders, affirming that such administrative decisions do not create legal rights for the petitioner. The Court emphasized the necessity for the Government to ensure speedy conduct of cases amidst a high volume of litigation, referencing Ramachandran v. Alagiriswami, A.I.R. 1961 Madras 450.
