SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
, CJ, MR. JOYMALYA BAGCHI, J
SACHIN GUPTA – Appellant
Versus
UNION OF INDIA – Respondent
Writ Petition(s)(Civil) No(s).116/2026



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners:Petitioner-in-person

The Court upheld that petitions lacking substantial questions and clear drafting can be dismissed without entertaining them.

Headnote:This case pertains to a writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution of India, wherein the petitioner displayed a casual approach in drafting. The Court found the petition misconceived and dismissed it for not raising substantial questions of law. The Court refrained from imposing costs on the petitioner, who is an Advocate, while issuing a warning to not pursue similar petitions in the future.

ORDER

1. Permission to appear and argue in-person is granted.

2. This petition is another example of a casual approach in drafting the writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution of India and burdening this Court with undesirable litigation.

3. The petitioner, however, if so advised, may approach the competent Authority.

4. The instant petition is wholly misconceived and is, accordingly, dismissed.

5. All pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.

ORDER

1. Permission to appear and argue in-person is granted.

2. This writ petition is yet another example of complete non- application of mind on the part of the petitioner while drafting the same and is wholly frivolous.

3. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed.

4. All pending applications, if any, also disposed of.

ORDER

1. Permission to appear and argue in-person is granted.

2. Delay condoned.

3. We are constrained to observe that the instant petition is wholly baseless. Moreover, it is abundantly evident that the same is drafted very poorly apart from also being vague. Additionally, it does not raise any substantial question(s) of law warranting sustained consideration by this Court.

4. Ordinarily, we would have liked to impose exemplary costs on the petitioner with a view to discourage such a casual and lackadaisical approach to agitating this Court’s writ jurisdiction. However, considering that the petitioner is an Advocate, we presently refrain from doing so. We, however, issue a stern warning to the petitioner-Advocate to refrain from filing/pursuing any such petitions in the future.

5. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed.

6. All pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.

ORDER

Diary No(s).53368/2025

1. Permission to appear and argue in-person is granted.

2. Delay condoned.

3. The prayer in this petition is absolutely vague, evasive and frivolous. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed.

4. All pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.

Diary No(s).53583/2025

5. Permission to appear and argue in-person is granted.

6. Delay condoned.

7. No case to entertain this writ petition is made out. The same is, accordingly, dismissed.

8. All pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
