Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order directing the issuance of notice in a Writ Petition seeking to mandate the Supreme Court's sittings at Indore was not maintainable under Article 226 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the decision regarding the location of Supreme Court sittings falls exclusively within the discretionary power of the Chief Justice of India as per Article 130. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside.
