A Division Bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Suman Shyam found the petition, filed by Jitendra Punamchand Maru, to be without merit and motivated by oblique considerations. The court observed that the petitioner had failed to establish any public interest in the matter and noted the significant delay in approaching the court.
