•A textile merchant from Ludhiana filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court, seeking to bring the PM Cares Fund under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
•Appearing without a lawyer, the merchant faced suspicion from CJI Surya Kant regarding the complex legal language in his petition.
•The merchant initially claimed a typist named 'Das' helped, but later admitted using three or four AI-based tools to draft the petition due to inability to afford a lawyer.
•The Supreme Court, comprising CJI Surya Kant, Justices Joymalya Bagchi, and R. Mahadevan, dismissed the PIL, calling it irresponsible, vague, and baseless.
•CJI Surya Kant advised the merchant to return to his business and directed typist 'Das' to appear before the bench, though the court decided against a detailed investigation.
