HC fines man seeking removal of word 'Mahatma' from notes
Madras High Court has imposed a fine of â¹10,000 on a litigant seeking removal of the word 'Mahatma' from Indian currency, for wasting the court's time. The petitioner claimed it's a violation of Articles 14 and 18 of the Constitution. However, the court dismissed the petition, saying it's unknown how public interest would be affected by describing Gandhiji as Mahatma.
