Disgusting, intolerable: Allahabad HC as red gutka saliva stains spotted on petitions
Allahabad HC ordered the Registry to refuse any petitions or documents bearing "reddish colour saliva" stains, with Justice Shree Prakash Singh calling the habit "disgusting" and "not tolerable at any cost". Justice Singh said saliva is used to turn over pages, leading to potential spread of infections. HC told the Registry to "carefully" examine paper book/petitions/applications for such stains.
