LR-6 New trend among celebrities is to first directly approach Supreme Court even if the matter may be in domain of High Court at first instance.
By directly approaching Supreme Court 1) They get publicity as soon case is filed 2) They get publicity even if case is dismissed by Supreme Court 3) They get publicity even if Supreme Court says that they should first approach High Court.
Thus this is trend is driven by triple publicity gains
