KANUBHAI BRAHMBHATT vs STATE OF GUJARAT

The Supreme Court held that petitioners should approach the concerned High Court before seeking relief under Article 32 of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized the importance of judicial discipline and the need to manage its docket effectively, warning that if it entertained all direct petitions, it would hinder its ability to address cases requiring its exclusive jurisdiction under Article 136. The Court declined to entertain the writ petition, directing the petitioner to seek remedy in the appropriate High Court first.
