"We are not saying that it was not a serious issue but the Delhi High Court has been hearing this issue for a couple of years. If we entertain this petition, the high court will stop hearing the pending matter and all its hard work over the years will go in vain. It will be appropriate, if you approach the Delhi High Court," PTI reported quoting the bench.
Directing the petitioner to approach the Delhi High Court, the bench asked the Delhi High Court to accord audience to the petitioner and hear his suggestions on the issue. "We do not deem it necessary to entertain this petition and initiate a parallel proceeding. The petitioner is relegated to Delhi High Court with liberty to seek his impleadment as intervenor and assist in the pending matter," the bench observed.
