'Right To Access Justice Not Absolute' : Supreme Court Imposes Rs 1 Lakh Cost On Litigant For Multiple Frivolous Cases

Live Law  

The Supreme Court recently imposed a heavy cost of Rs.1,00,000 on the petitioner, who over the span of more than 11 years filed frivolous litigants and indulged in forum shopping more than 10 times including before the High Court of Bombay and the Supreme Court. The petitioner then filed an application to the Ministry of Law & Justice seeking inquiry against the Presiding Officer of the Tribunal and against the judges of the Bombay High Court including the then Chief Justice which had dismissed his writ petition and the review petition. Relentless in his efforts to continue pursuing litigation, the petitioner attempted to file a second review petition before the High Court, the permission of which was denied. When the doors to the courts got shut, the petitioner filed complaints alleging corruption against judges including the then President, Prime Minister and the Chief Justice of the High Court.
