The Supreme Court on Monday remarked that 40% of litigations by the Central and state governments are frivolous. The statement came during a hearing before a bench of Justices BR Gavai, Vikram Nath, and Sanjay Karol to discuss a service matter. It said the government was "filing to deny Rs. 700 per month to someone and spending Rs. 7 lakhs of taxpayer money."
