Playing with the judicial system is not tolerated… and the Supreme Court imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the person.

New Delhi:The Supreme Court has imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the petitioner who has repeatedly filed frivolous cases and said that the petitioner has misused the judicial system. The Supreme Court said that the right of access to court is a fundamental pillar of democracy but it is not an absolute right but it should be used carefully. The apex court said that tampering with the judicial system will not be tolerated. In its decision, the Supreme Court imposed a huge fine of Rs 1,00,000 on a petitioner who repeatedly filed frivolous cases over 11 years. She filed cases in different forums more than 10 times, including the Bombay High Court and the Supreme Court. Justice J.K. The bench of Justice Maheshwari and Justice Rajesh Bindal termed such actions of the petitioner as misuse of the judicial system.

The court said that the right to access courts is a fundamental pillar of our democracy. However, this right is not absolute and must be used responsibly. When petitioners repeatedly file baseless petitions in different forums and deliberately delay the proceedings, they undermine the foundation of our judicial system. The court said that the petitioner had repeatedly filed frivolous petitions and appeals which had no basis. This attempt is an example of corrupting the judicial process and creating obstacles in the disposal of other cases.

The petitioner was dismissed from service in the year 2000 for his/her repeated and prolonged absence without permission. The petitioner filed appeals and petitions in several forums, all of which upheld his/her dismissal. The Central Industrial Tribunal, Mumbai and the Bombay High Court upheld his/her dismissal.

Review petitions and then Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) were filed in the Supreme Court against the High Court decision, which were dismissed. When no relief was received, the petitioner sent complaints to the President, the Prime Minister and the Chief Justice of the High Court. Over the course of 11 years, he/she tried to delay the case through fresh petitions and second review petitions.
