No Legal System Can Scrutinize Resolved Issues Repeatedly: SC

The Supreme Court has recently said that no legal system can have a scenario where someone keeps on raking up an issue repeatedly once it is resolved at the highest level.

The remarks came when the apex court dismissed with the cost of Rs 10,000, where a plea filed by a man noting that he was diffused from service and the matter stood closed in the year 2004.
Therefore, it noted that a review petition in the matter was also rejected.

The bench of Justice SK Kaul & Justice Aravind Kumar stated that the petitioner hasn’t filed a vulnerary plea but a writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution claiming that injustice has been done to him and the matter should also be reopened.

Article 32 of the Constitution gives individuals the right to move the Supreme Court for justice when they feel their fundamental rights have been infringed.

The bench stated in its order passed on May 1 that, “No legal system can have a scenario where a person keeps on raking up the issue again and again once it is resolved at the highest level. This is a complete waste of judicial time.”

Further, it said that “We, thus, dismiss this petition with costs, though we limit the amount of cost considering the petitioner is a dismissed person.”

The bench directed that the cost of Rs 10,000 be deposited with the Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Welfare Fund to be utilized for the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) library.
