The bench said the court cannot ask the government to take a particular decision as the issue fell within the policy making domain of the executive.
“Whether a national holiday is to be declared is a matter of governmental policy. The Supreme Court cannot direct that,” the bench said while refusing to hear the plea which also sought directions to build a memorial hall and museum in the memory of Bose in the national and other state capitals.
While junking the PIL, the bench asked the petitioner not to add to the existing number of public holidays.
The court said lawyers should think twice before filing PILs as to whether the relief sought is judicially manageable or not.
“You must also take the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court seriously. You have to ask yourself first, can this matter be judicially resolved. You like blue skies, you cannot say that issue direction for the blue skies,” the bench said.
“You are wasting other litigants’ time. You cannot make a mockery of the PIL,” it said, while rejecting the plea filed by a man named K K Ramesh. PTI SJK SJK SK SK
