WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) NO.541 OF 2020
decided 06.07.2020
Bench: Arun Mishra
and S. Abdul Nazeer, JJ.
Facts
The petitioner, who is an Advocate practicing in
this Court, has filed the writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution of
India against various officers of the Registry of this Court and the Union of
India regarding unequal treatment to the ordinary lawyers/ litigants and
favouritism to some law firms or Advocates.
Held
The
Court disposing off the writ petition with nominal cost of Rs 100 said that petition
as filed could not be said to
be maintainable because the petitioner ought to have impleaded
the Supreme Court of India in the Writ application through Secretary General which he failed to do.
The
Court further said that it expects from the Registry to work efficiently and at
the same timevit is expected of the lawyers also to remove the defects
effectively and not to unnecessarily cast aspersions on the system.
The
Court also took judicial notice of the fact that such evil is also spreading in
the various High Courts, and Registry is blamed unnecessarily for no good
reasons and asked lawyers to remember that they are the part of the judicial
system; they are officers of the Court and are a class apart in the society.
