CHARAN LAL SAHU vs UNION OF INDIA & ANR.

The Supreme Court dismissed a public interest litigation filed by an advocate, finding it to be an intentional attempt to bring the Court into contempt and lower its prestige. The Court noted that the petition was drafted carelessly, containing irrelevant and contradictory allegations, and concluded that it acted against public interest. Consequently, the Court directed the Registry to initiate contempt proceedings against the petitioner and barred him from filing future public interest litigations.
