Though the petitioners would strongly dispute the same, I am of opinion that this writ petition is in the nature of a public interest litigation in so far as, the petitioner has not stated as how the petitioner is personally affected by the grant of the NOC for Petroleum Outlet to the 5th respondent. Therefore, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to file a public interest litigation on the same cause of action, this writ petition is dismissed. S.SIRIJAGAN, JUDGE. rkc
