Respondents. ================================================ Appearance: For the petitioner: Mr Mrigendra Kumar Singh, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr Lalit Kishore, AAG III and Mr Awadhesh Prasad Sinha. =============================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN ORAL ORDER (Per : HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 2. 17.08.2010. Heard the learned Advocates. - 2 - This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution is filed by a self-claimed social worker in public interest to seek mandamus against the respondent authorities to permit one Narayan Sanskrit Vidyalaya to conduct Middle School classes. It is the claim of the petitioner that the said Narayan Sanskrit Vidyalaya runs Primary School classes and the students are deprived of Middle School level education. Be it noted, neither the Narayan Sanskrit Vidyalaya nor the students nor the parents have made any grievance in respect of Middle School Sanskrit education nor the school has ever approached the State authorities for permission to conduct Middle School classes. The petitioner, a so-called social worker, cannot be allowed to espouse a non-existing cause in the name of public interest. Petition being thoroughly misconceived, is dismissed in limine.
