AJIT PRASAD GUPTA vs STATE OF U.P. & ORS.

The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition filed by the petitioner challenging the termination of his services, emphasizing that the repeated petitions constituted an abuse of the court's process. The Court noted that the petitioner had previously allowed the dismissal of his earlier petitions to acquire finality and had no right to continuously challenge the same termination order. The Court imposed costs of Rs. 5,000 to be deposited with the Supreme Court Legal Service Authority, reinforcing the principle of finality in judicial proceedings.
