Baba Tek Singh vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court, while addressing a writ petition under Article 32, declined to entertain the petition filed by Baba Tek Singh, who alleged threats to his life and property from influential government officials. The Court criticized the petitioner's withdrawal of a prior writ petition from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, emphasizing that High Courts possess adequate authority to protect constitutional rights. However, recognizing the serious nature of the allegations, the Court directed the High Court to restore the earlier petition for further proceedings, ensuring the petitioner is not left without remedy.
