Learned counsel for the State and learned counsel for Bihar University have highlighted the fact that through the same lawyer another public interest litigation bearing CWJC No. 14467/2010 was preferred before this Court recently raising similar grievance in respect of constitution of governing body for BPS College, Desari, Vaishali and when that writ petition 2 preferred as PIL was dismissed on 03.09.2010, present writ petition has also been filed on 19th December 2010 by making formal changes in the prayer and the name of the petitioner has been changed to that of a Sansthan which claims to be an NGO. 3. We have no option but to dismiss this public interest litigation for many reasons but primarily because the counsel has chosen not to appear. 4. Faced with spate of public interest litigation, this Court has often come across such instances where same subject matter is re-agitated before this Court as PIL by mere changing the name of the petitioner. It has become difficult to keep a track of earlier PILs in order to avoid passing of contradictory orders. Some mechanism is required to take care of such unpleasant situations. Recently, this Court has framed rules under Patna High Court Rules relating to filing of public interest litigation. We are of the view that the aforesaid problem needs to be considered by the High Court on administrative side with a view to make an attempt for tackling the aforesaid problem of repeated filing of public interest litigation by mere changing of name of 3 the petitioner. We are not expressing any opinion as to how this can be done and whether it is possible to be done or not but the matter needs to be discussed and if some solution is possible then the Patna High Court Rules relating to public interest litigation may be amended suitably. 5. For the aforesaid purpose, let a copy of this order be served upon the Registrar General, Patna High Court for taking the required steps. perwez (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
