The Supreme Court of Justice rejected the applicant's request for judicial aid, ruling that the burden of proof regarding financial insolvency rests entirely on the petitioner. The applicant argued for state assistance due to lack of economic means, but failed to provide sufficient evidence of this condition. Consequently, the court denied the benefit because the statutory requirement to demonstrate the inability to bear normal litigation expenses was not met.
