The petitioner Advocate SG Kudle pointed out that the rule of law was required to be upheld. However, CJ retorted the same was required to be done within the ‘four corners of law’.
Kudle sought leave to withdraw the petition, which the Court allowed.
In the order permitting withdrawal of petition, the Court cautioned the lawyer to ensure that future petitions have facts supported by legal grounds.
“Before parting we may caution the petitioner that before he files petitions in this court or any other court, he must take care not to file petitions bereft of any material facts or legal grounds and not making only political statements. We expect and hope that petitioner shall refrain from the same in future,” the court ordered.
