MANOJ NARULA Vs. UNION OF INDIA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The grievance raised by the petitioner in this petition filed by way of public interest litigation is that there are Ministers appointed who are "tainted" and have criminal background. Earlier a similar petition was filed by this very petitioner which came up for hearing on 16-7-2004 and the court passed the following order: (SCC p. 51) "the issue raised in this petition is being debated in Parliament. Therefore, it is too premature a stage for us to entertain a petition of this nature. The writ petition is dismissed. "

(2.) The petitioner sought for a review of the said order complaining that since the date of the order of this Court dated 16-7-2004' the issue has not yet been debated in Parliament. The Court noted (SCC p. 52) :

(3.) We cannot enter into the question as to what will be or what will not be debated in Parliament, nor can we issue any direction in that regard.
