A. HAMSAVENI vs STATE OF TAMIL NADU

The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petitions filed by approximately 1200 individuals claiming to be long-term helpers, holding that the petitioners failed to approach the Khalid Commission despite its publicized mandate to identify and regularize helpers. The Court emphasized that the petitioners did not provide any evidence to establish their claims or demonstrate that they were working prior to 1986, thus failing to show a violation of any fundamental right under Article 32. The Court reiterated that a writ petition cannot be a mere fishing expedition for establishing claims without substantiation.
