This writ petition, in the form of Public Interest Litigation, came to be registered in the High Court of Allahabad in the year 2000 on the letter from one M.N. Shukla seeking action against the then District Magistrate, Nainital Dr. Rajneesh Dube for hatching the alleged conspiracy against his son. 3. From the records, it appears that the petitioner’s son was arrested by the police for his alleged involvement in a criminal case under Prevention of Corruption Act. 4. In our considered view, the matter does not deserve to be entertained as ‘Public Interest Litigation’. 5. The petition, therefore, is liable to be dismissed and is hereby dismissed. (J.C.S.
