CORAM : KSHITIJ R. VYAS, C.J. & DR.D.Y.CHANDRACHUD, J. April 5, 2006. P.C. : A Corporator of Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation has, by way of a Public Interest Litigation, filed this petition, seeking a prayer to direct Respondent No.1, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, to exercise the powers under the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation Act, to release the adjacent land lying on the northern side of the Rabada lake and to handover the same to the Thane Municipal Corporation for expansion of the Rabada Lake. In our view, the present petition is not maintainable to invoke our jurisdiction under Public Interest Litigation inasmuch as the grievance voiced is in the nature more 2 of private than the public interest, and therefore, not bonafide. Rejected. CHIEF JUSTICE Dr.D. Y. Chandrachud, J.
