New Delhi, Feb 26 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Monday came down heavily on a lawyer seeking directions to the High Court for posting a matter to an early date and said 'It has become a trend to file Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) merely seeking to issue notice or grant adjournments to other courts.'
'The Court imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the petitioner saying this was to send a message to Advocates-on-Record (and Counsels engaged by them) that frivolous petitions should not be filed.'
