The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 14 Feb 2024The Delhi High Court on Monday refused to entertain a public interest litigation alleging violation of people's right to privacy by Truecaller, a leading global caller ID platform. A bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Manmohan orally said it will dismiss the petition by Ajay Shukla, which was withdrawn without the apex court granting him any liberty to approach the high court.
‘You can't re-litigate. This will amount to abuse of process of law. Dismissed as withdrawn means you can't re-litigate,’ the bench, also comprising Justice Manmeet PS Arora, said.
