He has studied in school and college. Today he can say that this theory is scientifically wrong. On this the judges asked what can the court do in this?
The judge asked these questions
Justice Kaul said, “Is it the job of the court to test the theories of Newton or Einstein? Which lawyer advised you to file the petition?” The petitioner told that he himself has filed the petition. After this the petitioner asked that if the court will not hear his petition then where should he go? On this, Justice Kaul said that the job of the court is not to give them advice.
…then create a separate principle – said the Supreme Court
The bench said that if someone finds the scientific theories prevalent for a long time wrong, then he is free to formulate and propagate his own theories. The petitioner can also do this if he wishes. This is not a subject on which the court should hear. After this the judges rejected the petition.
