A bench comprising Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan passed an order in a transfer petition of Probo Media Technologies Pvt Ltd. The firm runs an opinion trading platform.
Transfer of PILs
The bench noted that there are petitions pending in different high courts. Senior advocate Abhishek M Singhvi, representing the petitioner, mentioned two PILs before the Bombay High Court and one each before the Gujarat and Chhattisgarh High Courts. He suggested transferring all PILs to the Bombay High Court.
Consolidation of Cases
The bench rejected the idea of transferring cases and directed the Bombay, Gujarat, and Chhattisgarh High Courts to transfer all writ petitions to itself. Senior advocate Gaurav Aggarwal, representing a petitioner, argued against consolidating cases due to differing issues raised.
The Supreme Court issued a notice on the transfer petition of the firm on May 22. It decided not to hear the PILs from Gujarat and Chhattisgarh High Courts until further notice.
