Supreme Court slams “social-media driven PIL” seeking NEET-PG re-exam, imposes ₹25,000 costs

Justice Narasimha also took exception to the manner in which the lawyer had secured an urgent hearing in the matter.

Look at how accessible this country is. See, you have the freedom and liberty to walk into the Chief Justice’s Court early in the morning and saying that there is an urgent matter. Acting on your statement, and without realising that you were working on social media, the Chief Justice assigned the case to us and we are sitting at 4 pm to hear the matter, and you end up making a statement that people are complaining and then go on social media,” the judge remarked.

Let the Bar Council of India investigate him,” Justice Aradhe added.

Ultimately, the Court dismissed the plea with costs of ₹25,000.
