Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed a petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution, which questioned the appointment of a judge based on unverified allegations from a third party. The Court emphasized that the petitioner lacked personal knowledge of the allegations and failed to provide credible evidence, noting that newspaper reports do not constitute legally acceptable evidence. The Court held that the petition was an abuse of the process of law and allowed the petitioner to withdraw with liberty to file a fresh petition if necessary.
