The Kerala High Court on September 25 dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by M.A. Saji Roshan, a 58-year-old resident of Alappuzha.
The PIL sought various directions from the court, including making it mandatory to affix a recent passport-size photo of parties in every suit and plaint, appointing handwriting experts in district courts to detect forgery, and introducing a subject in school syllabus to prevent cheating.
The petitioner, representing himself, sought eight main reliefs, including:
– Directing district courts to affix recent passport-size photos of parties in every suit and plaint.
– Appointing officers with handwriting expertise in district courts to detect forgery.
– Introducing a subject in the school syllabus to prevent cheating and emphasizing moral science.
– Forming a disciplinary committee with power to issue roll numbers to advocate clerks.
– Enhancing basic qualifications for Judicial Service Examination candidates.
– Providing IT cells with VC links and self-e-filing counters.
– Appointing a government official to monitor Bar Council functions.
The court, comprising Acting Chief Justice A. Muhamed Mustaque and Justice S. Manu, dismissed the PIL, stating that the relief sought was a policy matter that couldn’t be directed through a writ. The court deemed the petitioner’s demands “far-fetched” and “unsustainable,” dismissing the petition in limine.
