The Supreme Court today refused to entertain a PIL challenging the imposition of President's Rule in Uttarakhand and seeking a CBI probe into alleged horse trading of MLAs.
A bench, comprising Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justice U U Lalit, questioned the petitioner advocate about his "bonafide" and "locus" while asking searching questions as to how he was affected by central rule in the state.
"Do you belong to Uttarakhand? How are you concerned? You have to have some concern. What is your locus? Something should happen somewhere and Mr Sharma will file a PIL. Your credibility gets affected if you file such type of PILs.
