The Supreme Court today (September 16) dismissed a writ petition filed by an Advocate raising the issue of fake and forged medical degrees. The petitioner, appearing in person, sought for the auditing of the medical regulations and the constitution of an expert committee to look into the issue.

A bench comprising Justice PS Narasimha and Justice Alok Aradhe discouraged the petitioner from routinely filing such petitions for publicity.

Justice Narasimha said: "You file one PIL per week. What kind of petitions do you drafting? You have made it a factory. That's what, every week you file writ petition. You draft the moment you see news. Look at your prayers. Do you ever apply your mind?"

He further asked the petitioner if such PILs are filed for the purpose of advertisement or popularity. "Why do you do such things just because it's easy to file a writ petition and anybody can file and get publicity? Just don't pile us with petitions like this routinely."

The petitioner, however, tried to explain that the petition raises important questions and also gave statistics that out of four doctor, atleast one has a fake or forged degree; however, the Court dismissed it.
