We do not see an iota of public interest in this petition filed before us. The concept of public interest litigation and the locus standi of a person is now explained by the apex Court in many number of decisions. Keeping in view the observations made by the apex Court in those decisions and having perused the pleadings made in this petition, we really feel that in the name of a public interest litigation the petitioner is trying to espouse the cause of a third person. This cannot be permitted by us. Therefore the writ petition requires to be rejected and it is rejected. Ordered accordingly. H.L.Dattu Chief Justice K.T.Sankaran Judge vku/-
