Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution by R. Karuppan, seeking to declare the age of Chief Justice A.S. Anand as 1.11.1934 and to issue a writ of quo warranto against him. The Court found the petition to be an abuse of the process of law, noting that the petitioner failed to demonstrate any infringement of fundamental rights and presented false statements. The Court upheld the validity of the matriculation certificate indicating the Chief Justice's date of birth as 1.11.1936, thereby rejecting the petitioner's claims.
