Angered by a “truckload” of colossal documents filed by parties in a batch of petitions arising out of the Amazon-Future retail case, the Supreme Court on Tuesday asked whether the purpose was just to drag down or “annoy the judges” and not a general small. Compilation of demanded documents.
A bench of Chief Justice NV Ramana and Justices AS Bopanna and Hima Kohli asked the counsel for the parties to file lesser amount of documents so that the matter could be disposed of and fixed December 8 for hearing the matter.
“I’m sorry to say this to all of you. What’s the fun in filing sections 22-23 of the record? How many documents have both sides filed repeatedly and is it just for dragging or otherwise harassing the judges It is completely unnecessary,” said the CJI. Senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for Future Group, said, “It is completely unnecessary.” and suggested that both the parties may file a common document.
