The Madras High Court on Monday decided to hear on Tuesday a public interest litigation petition which had insisted upon conducting the Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) examination, for gaining fellowship in basic sciences, in regional languages too and not just in English and Hindi.
Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice P.D. Audikesavalu adjourned the matter by a day to accommodate Additional Solicitor General R. Sankaranarayanan, appearing on behalf of the Centre. The court had already ordered postponement of the exam originally scheduled to be held on November 7.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
