Sanjay Musale v. State Of M. P.

A.S.ANAND, B.N.KIRPAL, V.N.KHARE

body1998
Order Delay condoned. 2. The writ petition filed in the High Court by the petitioner concealed material facts as is noticed in the impugned order. The petitioner appears to have filed the litigation for someone. There is no public interest involved in the petition. The High Court rightly found him to be a busy body and, in our opinion, such a meddle-some inter­loper cannot be permitted to maintain Public Inte­rest Litigation Petition. The courts cannot allow their forum to be misused in the garb of “public interest”. This special leave petition is, therefore, dismissed with Rs. 5,000/- as costs. (N.K.R.) SLP dismissed. ********** Parallel Citations of other Journals : Sanjay Musale v. State of M.P. & Ors., 1998(7) Supreme 424 00022
