casestatus.in Summary
A petition for Special Leave to Appeal under Article 136 of the Constitution is maintainable only by an aggrieved party with locus standi; a person who has no direct interest in the impugned order lacks standing to challenge the same, and filing such a frivolous or vexatious petition warrants imposition of exemplary costs. Courts retain discretionary power to reduce such costs upon a bonafide application for waiver, taking into account relevant personal circumstances and a genuine expression of regret by the petitioner. This analysis is brought to you by casestatus.in as part of its coverage of procedural principles governing special leave jurisdiction.
