'Mockery Of System' : Supreme Court Pulls Up Petitioner Who Filed Petition Seeking His Appointment As High Court Judge

Terming it a 'mockery of the system', the Supreme Court today declined to entertain a petition seeking directions to appoint the petitioner as a Telangana High Court Judge. 

The bench of CJI BR Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran was hearing a writ petition filed by GV Sarvan Kumar seeking directions to appoint him as the judge of the Telangana High Court. 

The CJI, disinclined to entertain the petition, pointed out that such a prayer was an attempt to mock the collegium system and the Constitution itself. 

"I'll do one thing, I will constitute a bench of the three senior-most judges for a collegium meeting... this is a mockery of the system! Where have you heard of making a representation and application for appointment as a High Court judge? It's a mockery of the system!"

The bench added that the Counsel should not have agreed to file such a plea in the first place. It expressed, "We should withdraw your sanad for filing such a petition." 

Upon the counsel apologising, the bench allowed the withdrawal of the petition.
