During the hearing, the High Court observed that the individual directly connected to the incident did not wish to pursue the case legally. After reviewing documents and the intent behind the petition, the court concluded that the PIL was filed with a “special agenda” and lacked genuine public interest.

A division bench of Justices Vijay Kumar Shukla and Vinod Kumar Dwivedi dismissed the PIL on December 3, noting that it appeared to have been filed with hidden motives rather than for public welfare. As a consequence, the court imposed a ₹1 lakh penalty on Sisodia for misusing the PIL mechanism.

The decision has sparked discussions about the misuse of PILs and the judiciary’s strict stance on petitions filed with concealed personal agendas.
