SC Refuses To Entertain PIL On Viceroy’s Allegations Against Vedanta

The Supreme Court refused to entertain a PIL alleging corporate misconduct and malpractices by Vedanta based on the Viceroy report. The Court held that PILs must involve matters of public interest, not disputes over corporate governance or alleged private wrongs. By rejecting the petition, the judgment reinforces judicial scrutiny in maintaining the PIL’s original purpose—addressing genuine public interest issues—and avoids misuse of the process for personal or speculative claims against companies.
