Honble SHETHNA, J.–Thakur Nahar Singh Jasol, Chief Administrator of the City Palace Museum (Maharana Mewar Charitable Foundation) Udaipur addressed a letter dated 18.11.1999 to Honble Justice Vishnu Sadashiv Kokje, Judge, Rajasthan High Court, Jodhpur alongwith a copy of application dated NIL submitted by as many as nine applicants to the District Collector, Barmer and a copy of the letter dated 12.10.1999 addressed to Shri R.N. Arvind, I.A.S. Collector, District Barmer. (2). We fine from the noting made on this petition that as per the orders, it was listed in Chamber on 22.11.1999. (3). On 22.11.1999 their Lordships V.S. Kokje and Mohd. Yamin, JJ. passed the following order in chamber:- 22.11.1999 HONBLE MR. V.S. KOKJE, J. HONBLE MR. MOHD. YAMIN, J. (IN CHAMBER) Perused the papers. In our opinion, it is a fit case for being entertained as Public Interest Litigation. Issue notice to the Collector of District Barmer as also to Thakur Ganga Singh Jasol, owner of Survey No. 116, village Temawas, Thakur Sobhagya Singh Jasol, survey No. 216/31, Shri Moolchand Rathi Jasol, Proprietor of Universal Dyeing, Shri Rameshwar Bhootra Jasol, owner of Annapurna Textile Pvt. Ltd., Shri Ashok Jain Jasol, Proprietor of Monica Textile, Shri Devraj Nahata Jasol, proprietor Nahata Textile, calling upon them to show cause as to why action to redress the grievance of the petitioner be not taken and interim orders be also not issued. Notices returnable within four weeks. (4). Only Collector, Barmer has filed reply affidavit. In view of the reply affidavit nothing more is required to be done and accordingly, it was required to be disposed of. (5). However, before parting, we must state that there is growing tendency among the people of the State to address letters directly to the Honble Judges of this Court with a request either to treat the matter as Public Interest Litigation or to do justice to them and the registry is directed to place the matter before the court on judicial side. (6). We do not approve this practice. If any person has any legitimate grievance then he or she should address a letter or application only to the Honble Chief Justice of this Court. Those cases should only be entertained provided the Honble Chief Justice thinks it fit to place it on a judicial side treating it as a writ petition or a public interest litigation matter. (7). If any person has any legitimate grievance then he or she should address a letter or application only to the Honble Chief Justice of this Court. Those cases should only be entertained provided the Honble Chief Justice thinks it fit to place it on a judicial side treating it as a writ petition or a public interest litigation matter. (7). We must also state that in some cases the parties can easily afford to approach this Court either in person or through their counsel by way of proper writ petition, but instead of that this device is found out to address letters or applications to Honble Judges of this Court with a request to entertain it as a writ petition or public interest litigation matter. In number of cases, we have found that no public interest was involved and it was only a private dispute between the parties. This is one of those cases. (8).

Alongwith the aforesaid application, there is an application dated NIL addressed by as many as nine applicants including none else but Shri Jaswant Singh, Honble Foreign Minister of Union of India, his cousin Shri Doongar Singh, Advocate, Jodhpur, Retired Lt. Gen. Hanoot Singh and Shri Fateh Singh, I.A.S., Addl. Chief Secretary of State of Gujarat alongwith others to District Collector, Barmer for taking action against six opponents named in this application. (10). It is true that the said application dated NIL was only signed by Nahar Singh Jasol and the same was made on behalf of nine applicants named in it. However, the contents of the application shows that all those nine persons were individually affected by the acts of opponents mentioned in it. (11). Thus, in strict sense, it is not a public interest litigation but private interest of number of persons is involved in this matter. (12). We are of the considered opinion that if they had got any legitimate grievance then without any hesitation they should approach this Court by way of writ petition, but we do not approve this attempt on the part of petitioner-Thakur Nahar Singh Jasol to address a direct letter to one of the Honble Judges of this Court. (13). With these observations, this petition is disposed of.
