The Delhi High Court has dismissed a public interest litigation that sought to challenge the removal of Sonam Wangchuk from Jantar Mantar, the iconic scientific observatory in New Delhi.
The Delhi High Court dismissed a public interest litigation filed against the removal of Sonam Wangchuk from Jantar Mantar. The petition, which was filed by concerned citizens and experts, argued that the removal violated the principles of transparency and merit. In its judgment, the court held that the petition did not present sufficient evidence to substantiate the claims made against the administrative decision. The court also noted that the removal had been carried out following established procedures. The dismissal means that Sonam Wangchuk will remain in his position at the observatory.
