The petitioner’s case is that they are not getting any grant from the Government. We cannot direct in a case of public interest litigation to get grant for any Society. If the petitioner is to get any benefit from the Government as grant for doing welfare activities, it is for the petitioner to apply to the Government showing that they are doing welfare activities. But, by a public interest litigation the Society 2 cannot get a grant. The petition is disposed of accordingly. (J.B. Koshy, CJ.) (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.) AAhmad
