Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed a special leave petition under Article 136, emphasizing that such petitions cannot be entertained against orders that do not decide any issue, such as those merely admitting a petition or adjourning a case. The Court clarified that while Article 136 grants wide discretion, it does not extend to frivolous or stale matters, nor to orders that do not resolve any substantive issue. The dismissal was based on the recognition of increasing petitions against non-orders, which the Court deemed inappropriate.
