Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition under Article 32 concerning the alleged preferential treatment given to influential lawyers by the Registry of the Court. The petitioner claimed that his cases faced unnecessary delays and defects pointed out by the Registry, which were not applicable, thereby violating the principle of equal treatment under the law. The Court emphasized the need for fair and equal treatment in the judicial process, holding that the Registry must ensure that all petitions are processed without bias or undue delay, thus reinforcing the principles of justice and equality.
