CWP No. 18544 of 2007 Mashwinder Singh Advocate versus Chandigarh Administration Present : Mr. HPS Kochhar, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Aashish Rawat, Advocate for Mr. Anupam Gupta, Standing Counsel for U.T.Administration **** This petition filed in public interest is against the denial of permission to hold international cricket matches in a stadium situate in sector 16, Chandigarh. The petitioner's claim is entirely based on a press report published in 'The Tribune' issued on 25.11.2007. A copy of the report enclosed with the petition as Annexure P-1 suggests that request made by the Indian Cricket League for permission to hold the ICL matches in Sector 16 stadium has been declined. In the ordinary course, it is the 'Indian Cricket League' that ought to make a grievance against the alleged denial of permission. The petitioner who happens to be a member of the bar does not appear to have any direct concern with the holding of the said matches. He simply claims to be a cricket fan which is not enough for maintaining this petition where the League can itself make a grievance if so advised. Dismissed. (T.S.THAKUR) CHIEF JUSTICE (JASBIR SINGH) JUDGE 18.11.2008 'ravinder'
