In Nimmanapalli Surya Reddy v. Honorable Chief Justice, High Court of Telangana (2023), why did the Supreme Court uphold the refusal to register the petition for special leave to appeal?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The challenged decision was an administrative order of the High Court Chief Justice. Article 136 concerns judicial adjudications by courts or tribunals. The Supreme Court therefore upheld the Registrar’s refusal to register the petition.

Option feedback

Option A

The order turns on the character of the decision challenged. Article 136 provides for discretionary special leave and does not require a High Court certificate.

Option B

Article 136 concerns judicial adjudications of courts or tribunals. The impugned administrative decision fell outside that scope.

Option C

The Court heard the petitioner in person. His lack of representation did not determine whether the decision fell within Article 136.

Option D

The order did not turn on review by a larger High Court bench. It upheld the refusal because the challenged decision was administrative.
