Supreme Court Dismisses Revenue Appeal for want of Prosecution
YESTERDAY the Supreme Court dismissed an SLP filed by the Government for want of prosecution. The Court ordered:
No one appears in support of the special leave petition even in the second call.
The special leave petition stands dismissed for want of prosecution.
This is how the Government clogs the Supreme Court and wastes its own time and that of the Supreme Court. At least 50 babus must have worked at various stages to file this SLP in the Supreme Court. The SLP should not have been filed in the first place as the amount involved is only about 8 lakh rupees. The SLP was filed in 2016 only.
A Law which affects only a handful does not, on that account, justify its existence. A law which provides for the decapitation of all men over six feet will still be unfair, even if it affects only a very small minority of the nation
