"Sorry, we will not entertain. It is very badly drafted. You can move the High Court. Some judgments have upheld it. Sorry. We will not entertain. Dismissed,” noted the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjeev Khanna on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petition filed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, seeking the abolition of the 'Tax Deducted at Source' (TDS). The petition sought the Supreme Court’s intervention to scrap the TDS mechanism, alleging it to be unfair and inefficient, but it was ultimately dismissed due to poor drafting.

The bench, comprising CJI Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar, refused to entertain the matter and advised the petitioner to approach the High Court for relief.
