On Monday, the Supreme Court rejected a petition that called for an inquiry into the death of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

A bench consisting of Justice Surya Kant and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan declined to entertain the petition, stating that it was not within the Court’s jurisdiction to decide the matter.

The counsel for the petitioner argued that the death of Subhash Chandra Bose remained a "mystery" and that there had been no conclusive resolution regarding his disappearance.

"You should go to appropriate forum...the issue whether one commission was right or another is about policy..." Justice Kant told the petitioner.

"We are not experts of everything...aap political worker hain na, apni party mei jaaiye aur mudda uthaiye. Supreme Court har cheez ki dawa nahi hai. Sarkar ko chalana court ka kaam nahi hai (You are a political woker, right? You go to your party and raise the issue. Supreme Court is not the remedy for everything. it's not the Court's job to run government)," Justice Kant said.

The petitioner, Pinaki Pani Mohanty, had also sought a declaration that Indian independence was achieved by the Azad Hind Fauj.

In April, when the Court had considered the petition, it expressed dissatisfaction with the "reckless and irresponsible" allegations made against certain national leaders who are no longer alive. The Court also questioned the bona fides of the petitioner.
