The Supreme Court recently dismissed a plea preferred by a man alleging that a 'machine' is being used by persons to control his brain [G Venkateswarlu v. The Director, CFSL (CBI) and Others]..The man had urged the Court to order the deactivation of this 'machine' controlling his brain.Calling it a 'bizarre' prayer, a Bench of Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia and Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah refused to entertain the plea."This is the bizarre prayer(s) which has been made by the petitioner whose specific allegation is that there is some machine which is being used and operated at the hands of some persons, by which the 'brain' of the petitioner is being controlled. We see no scope or reason as to how we can interfere in this matter. Accordingly, the present petition is dismissed," the Court said in its November 8 order..In this case, the appellant, who is a teacher, had initially filed a writ petition before the Andhra Pradesh High Court alleging that some persons have obtained a 'human brain reading machinery' from the Central Forensic Scientific Laboratory, Hyderabad and has been employing the same to control his brain.Before the High Court, the laboratory submitted that the appellant was never subjected to any examination and hence the question of deactivation of any machine alleged to have been used does not even arise.In light of this, the High Court dismissed the petition.Aggrieved, the appellant had approached the apex court..On September 27, when the matter was taken up, instead of dismissing the plea at the threshold, the Court directed the Supreme Court Legal Services Committee (SCLSC) to arrange an interaction with the appellant in his mother tongue so as to understand his actual grievances.In its report, the SCLSC informed the top court that the appellant want the Court to direct the Visakhapatnam office of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to forthwith de-activate a machine that the man claimed knows the ideas in his brain.After considering the report, the Court found no reason to interfere with the High Court's order and proceeded to dismiss the plea..Advocates Dr Vipin Gupta, Nandani Gupta, Suryansh Gupta and Krishna Kumar appeared for the appellant..[Read Order]
