IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No.16022 of 2011 Date of decision: 30.8.2011 Ramesh Sachdeva -----Petitioner v. State of Haryana & others -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL Present:- Mr. Arun Singal, Advocate for the petitioner. --- ADARSH KUMAR GOEL, ACJ 1. This petition seeks a direction for closure of schools being run without affiliation and shifting of students to recognized schools. 2. Case of the petitioner is that he is moving this Court by way of Public Interest Litigation. Respondent No.7 is running schools without affiliation by wrongly holding out that the schools are duly recognized. The official respondents were colluding with the schools. 3. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 4. On being asked, learned counsel for the petitioner stated that the schools are being run for the last more 10 years. It is not shown as to in what manner public interest is harmed by C.W.P. No.16022 of 2011 running of schools and how any provision of law is violated. It is also not shown how the petitioner seeks to advance public interest. If any student has been exploited or cheated, the aggrieved party could always take recourse to law. 5. We are, thus, not inclined to entertain this petition as Public Interest Litigation. Dismissed. (ADARSH KUMAR GOEL) ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE August 30, 2011 ( AJAY KUMAR MITTAL ) ashwani JUDGE 2
