SC dismisses PIL seeking contempt action over bulldozer operations in UP, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that sought contempt of court action concerning the ongoing bulldozer operations in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttarakhand.
A bench led by Justice Gavai rejected the PIL, stating, "You are a third party. What is your grievance? Let the affected persons come before the court, and we will hear them. This will only open the door for more petitions," the bench remarked to the petitioner. The PIL was filed by the National Federation of Indian Women, claiming it to be a genuine PIL and urging the court to take suo moto cognisance of the issue.
In response, the bench noted that a separate case on the matter is already underway, and since the petitioner has not suffered any direct harm, there is no need to initiate suo moto proceedings.
