Delhi HC Flags Abuse of Process, Terms Petitioner ‘Serial Litigant’

New Delhi, December 18:
The Delhi High Court has criticised a petitioner for abusing the legal process, describing them as a “serial litigant” after multiple repetitive and vexatious filings. The bench noted that such misuse of judicial resources hampers the court’s ability to address genuine grievances and causes unnecessary delays in the justice system.

The court emphasised that the legal system is meant to serve those with legitimate claims and warned that persistent frivolous litigation could attract penalties or dismissal of future petitions. Legal experts say this ruling underscores the judiciary’s growing intolerance for procedural abuse and its intent to maintain efficiency and integrity in court proceedings.
