Supreme Court Dismisses PIL Seeking One-Year Deadline for Court Decisions

The Supreme Court dismissed a PIL filed by Kamlesh Tripathi seeking a mandate for all courts in India to decide cases within one year, terming it a 'publicity interest litigation.' The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, questioned the feasibility of such a directive and advised the petitioner to submit suggestions via letter instead of filing petitions aimed at media attention. The court emphasized that judicial reforms are better addressed through administrative channels and welcomed constructive proposals in writing.
