On Monday, the Supreme Court expressed its discontent over a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Kamlesh Tripathi, seeking comprehensive judicial reforms.

Labeling it as a 'publicity interest litigation', the court dismissed the plea, criticizing its use as a means for media attention rather than practical purpose.

Chief Justice Surya Kant and justices inquired about the feasibility of mandating courts to decide cases within a year, suggesting instead that Tripathi submit a letter outlining potential suggestions for reform.
