The Supreme Court dismissed a writ petition seeking directions to prevent political leaders from switching parties, calling the plea 'vague, wild and casual allegations'.
During the hearing, advocate CR Jaya Sukin alleged that party leaders were being induced to switch sides through corruption or coercion.
The Court, however, found no merit in the plea and declined to entertain it, saying 'You asked for one minute, we gave you seven minutes.'
The dismissal comes amid speculation of split and internal turmoil in major opposition parties, including the Trinamool Congress, Shiv Sena-UBT, and the Samajwadi Party.
