Re: Suo Moto Proceedings Against Mr. R. ... vs Unknown

The Supreme Court dismissed a writ petition filed by Sh.R. Karuppan seeking a writ of Quo Warranto against the Chief Justice of India, asserting that the Chief Justice had exceeded his term due to alleged superannuation. The Court held that the petition lacked merit and was based on misleading assertions regarding the determination of the Chief Justice's age under Article 217 of the Constitution. The Court also issued a notice to the respondent for potential prosecution under Section 193 IPC for perjury, emphasizing the importance of truthful representations in judicial proceedings.
