New Delhi, Mar 9 Go back to the newspaper vendor. That was the irate Supreme Court’s directive to a petitioner who wanted a copy of the Times of India with all its supplements.
A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta came up with the advice and asked petitioner G S Rathore to tell his newspaper vendor to provide him all the supplements of the daily.
The bench questioned how a writ petition would lie against the Times of India.
"How does a writ (petition) lie against The Times of India? Is the Times of India a State so that we can entertain a writ petition against it?" the bench observed sarcastically.
