The Supreme Court took strong note of a PIL seeking major judicial reforms but on January 19, 2026, rejected the plea as a "publicity interest litigation." A bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant expressed displeasure, saying, "Do not file petitions just so you can speak in front of the cameras outside." The petitioner, Kamlesh Tripathi, had asked that every court in India decide cases within one year. The Court questioned the feasibility, with the CJI asking, "You are saying every court should decide within a year? How many such courts do you want?" Mr. Tripathi requested to argue in Hindi. The CJI replied, "You want to change the country, right? You don’t need to file such a petition, you can simply write a letter and send it to me." The bench encouraged administrative letters with suggestions for judicial reforms and said such ideas are always welcome. The court clearly rejected using public interest litigations as tools for media attention, urging serious and proper channels instead.
