The petitioner, a bar member, pleaded that the petition was pending against the governor for the last many months. He urged the court to fix hearing of the petition at the earliest and decide the same.
The chief justice, however, observed that the cases were not to fix on wish of any individual. "The applicant did not take any interest in the case and now he wants the court to decide the case on his wish," the CJ further remarked and dismissed the application.
