Jagannath temple in Puri

Supreme Court pulls up petitioners, dismisses PILs alleging illegal construction around Shree Jagannath temple by Odisha govt

The Supreme Court said "In the recent past, there is a mushroom growth of PILs. Many such petitions are either publicity interest litigation or personal interest litigation. We deprecate the practice of filing such PIL as it is a waste of judicial time and it needs to be nipped in bud so that development work is not stalled."
