The Supreme Court Registry is learnt to have refused to accept the Centre’s plea seeking modification of its 2012 verdict in the 2G spectrum case which had said the State was duty bound to adopt the auction route while transferring or alienating the country’s natural resources.
Sources said the apex court registry termed the plea of the government as āmisconceivedā and an attempt to seek a review of the judgement in the guise of seeking clarification.
The Registrar refused to receive it as per the provisions of Order XV Rule 5 of the Supreme Court Rules, 2013.
āThe Registrar may refuse to receive a petition on the ground that it discloses no reasonable cause or is frivolous or contains scandalous matter, but the petitioner may within 15 days of the making of such order, appeal by way of motion, from such refusal to the Court,ā the SC rule reads.
