Petition has been filed before the Supreme Court, requesting that the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, inaugurates the new parliament building instead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The petitioner argues that the statement issued by the Lok Sabha Secretariat and the invitations sent by the Secretary General of Lok Sabha for the inaugural function violate the Indian Constitution.

The plea emphasizes that the President is the First Citizen of India and the head of the institution of parliament. It states that important decisions regarding the country are made in the name of the President. Additionally, the plea highlights that the President, along with the two Houses of Parliament (Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha), holds supreme legislative authority in India and has the power to summon, prorogue, or dissolve the Lok Sabha.

Referring to Article 79 of the Indian Constitution, the plea argues that the President is an integral part of the parliament and should not be excluded from the inauguration. The petitioner alleges malpractice on the part of the Lok Sabha Secretariat for not involving the President in the inauguration ceremony.

Consequently, the petitioner has requested the Supreme Court to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order, direction, suggestion, or observation to direct the Lok Sabha Secretariat to inaugurate the new parliament building with the President of India.
