The court said that it is a “classic case of an action without a cause, full of surmises, conjectures and wishful thinking”.
“Whereas wishful thinking, in particular, is not a prohibited activity, but when it forms part of the grounds of a petition before the court, it amounts to an abuse of the process of the court and any such attempt must be repelled in a manner that it sends a tenacious message,” the bench said.
The judges added that the message must be clear that the offices held by the constitutional functionaries in public trust are not open to denigration by self-styled warriors of public interest based on superficial allegations.
“Article 124 has been complied with in the matter of appointment of the Chief Justice of India,” the Court concluded.
