The Court at the admission stage made the following : ORAL JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice) Writ petition filed as public interest litigation was entertained by the learned single Judge and dismissed it on the ground that the petitioner has no locus standi to question the inaction on the part of the respondents. We are of the view that the learned single Judge ought not to have entertained the writ petition and ought to have made it over to the Division Bench. Therefore, the order passed by the learned single Judge in the writ petition deserves to be set aside. The Writ Appeal is accordingly allowed. The impugned order is set aside. The writ petition is directed to be heard by a Division Bench to be taken up as public interest litigation and to reconsider the writ petition. _____________________ (DEVINDER GUPTA, C.J.) 23rd November 2004. _______________________ (M.
