A bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud said if the petitioner has any concrete suggestions on the administrative side to facilitate expeditious disposal of cases, he may be at liberty to place a representation before the secretary general of the apex court.
”While the concern of the petitioner in setting out the need for page limits on petitions in the court is laudable, it may be difficult for the court to frame a one size fits all direction of this nature,” the bench, also comprising Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, said.
The counsel appearing for the petitioner told the bench that this plea was purely an attempt to secure better access to justice.
