SUPREME COURT REFUSED TO RECALL RS 1 LAKH COST IMPOSED ON SERIAL LITIGANT: 'YOU SHOULD THINK 100 TIMES BEFORE FILING SUCH PETITIONS'
The Business Guardian|July 11, 2024
The Supreme Court in the case Ashok Pandey Versus the Speaker Of Lok Sabha observed and has refused to recall the cost of rupees one lakh which is imposed on Lucknow-based lawyer Ashok Pandey for filing the petition that challenged the restoration of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Lok Sabha membership.

The Division bench comprising of Justice B.R Gavai and Justice KV Viswanathan in the case observed and has reprimanded the petitioner for filing such petitions.

The bench stated that, You should think 100 times before filing these many petitions.

However, it may be that Gandhi’s membership was suspended following his conviction in a criminal defamation case over the ‘Modi-thieves’ remark. The same was restored after the Supreme Court stayed his conviction in August last year.

Later, Pandey had filed a writ petition wherein it is contended that Lok Sabha membership can be restored only after the member is acquitted in the criminal case.

The Supreme Court in January this year dismissed the petition as ‘frivolous’ after imposing.
