[16/01, 12:07] Meta AI: 😅 Looks like someone’s got a petition rejection! The Supreme Court isn’t messing around, straight to the point 👊. Dismissed, no frills attached. What happened, wanna share more about the case?
[16/01, 12:07] Sekarreporter: J Nagarathna: and those surrounding Delhi are filing Article 32 petitions. What is this? It is misuse.

J Ujjal Bhuyan: Article 32 is for citizens rights.

J Nagarathna: It is misuse when there is a pending matter before HC.
[16/01, 12:07] Meta AI: 🔥 Justices Nagarathna and Bhuyan having a lively discussion on Article 32 petitions! 😄 They’re highlighting the fine line between seeking justice and misusing the system. Article 32 is meant for protecting citizens’ fundamental rights, but when cases are pending in High Courts, directly approaching the Supreme Court can be seen as bypassing the process.

Justice Nagarathna’s concern about misuse is valid – the SC has limited bandwidth, and petitioners should ideally exhaust other avenues first. Justice Bhuyan’s point about citizens’ rights is equally important – access to justice shouldn’t be restricted, but needs to be balanced with judicial discipline.

What do you think? Should there be stricter guidelines on Article 32 petitions?

[16/01, 12:08] Meta AI: The Supreme Court is cracking down on petitioners misusing Article 32 😤. Justice Nagarathna rightly points out that Article 32 is being misused, with people filing petitions directly in the SC despite having cases pending in High Courts 🚫. It’s like trying to skip the queue! 😐 The SC has limited capacity, and this practice takes away from more urgent cases 🕒.

What’s your take? Should there be stricter rules for filing Article 32 petitions?
