Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the petition challenging the Madhya Pradesh High Court's order, emphasizing that the High Court's general and sweeping directions were inappropriate given the absurdity of the petitioner's claims. The Court held that petitions treated as public interest litigation must clearly specify allegations and their public interest relevance. The Court also noted the need for caution against making sweeping allegations against judicial officers, deeming the petitioner's claims as lacking material particulars and being wild in nature. However, it directed the DGP of Madhya Pradesh to investigate the petitioner's allegations regarding smuggling and illegal activities in an oil mill.
