The Supreme Court on Friday (April 11, 2026) dismissed a plea seeking a direction to the Centre to stop caste Census, and slammed the petitioner for the language used in the PIL.
“‘Aapne apne petition me badtameezi ki bhasa likhi hai. Aapne kisse apna petition likhwaya hai’ [You have written indecent language in your petition. Who has written your petition?],” a visibly angry Chief Justice Surya Kant told the petitioner, who was appearing in person.
