New Delhi, Apr 23 (UNI) The Supreme Court came down strongly on an advocate who persistently misused judicial process by filing frivolous petitions and imposed a penalty of Rs five lakh as costs for abusing the remedy under Article 32 of the Constitution.
A bench, comprising Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta, on Tuesday expressed deep displeasure at the conduct of the petitioner, who appeared in person and is an enrolled advocate.
The Court noted that despite being a lawyer for three years, he continued to file baseless and legally untenable petitions across various courts, including the apex court.
