Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed a petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution, questioning the appointment of a judge based on unverified allegations. The Court emphasized that the petitioner lacked personal knowledge of the allegations and relied solely on a representation made by another individual, Ram Sarup, which was not substantiated by credible evidence. The Court held that public interest litigation should not be misused for personal grievances and that newspaper reports do not constitute legally acceptable evidence.
