We do not see an iota of public interest in this litigation. The concept of public interest litigation and the locus standi of a person is now explained by the apex Court in many number of decisions. Keeping in view the definition and the explanation that is given by the apex Court on the expression locus standi and the public interest litigation and applying those principles to the facts and circumstances of this case, we are of the opinion that though it is named as public interest litigation, it does not have the characteristics of a public interest litigation. Therefore, we decline to entertain this writ petition. Accordingly it requires to be rejected and it is rejected. Ordered accordingly. (H.L.DATTU) CHIEF JUSTICE (K.T.SANKARAN) JUDGE vns
