01 May , New Delhi

The Supreme Court Friday issued showcause notice to advocate M L Sharma for making irresponsible and scandalous allegations in his PIL challenging the new law on appointment of judges for higher judiciary.

A five-judge constitution bench headed by Justice J S Khehar directed Sharma to respond within a week why he should not be debarred from canvasing any public interest litigation(PIL). The bench, also comprising Justices J Chelameswar, M B Lokur, Kurian Joseph and Adarsh Kumar Goel noted that Sharma files PILs regularly in the apex court.

It said, he thinks he can make allegations against anyone at anyplace. But the bench said, this is not a political platform
