FEDERATION OF BAR ASSOCIATIONS vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition filed by the Federation of Bar Associations in Karnataka under Article 32 of the Constitution, seeking the establishment of a permanent High Court bench in northern Karnataka. The Court noted that the petitioner failed to demonstrate any infringement of fundamental rights, as no such rights were violated by the absence of a bench. The Court also referenced a prior report from a Committee of five Judges that disfavored the establishment of a separate bench, emphasizing the practical challenges and irredeemable infirmities associated with such a proposal.
