Bhumkar, Advocate, Advocate for petitioner. Shri B.V. Wagh, AGP for respondent nos.1 & 2. CORAM: P.B. MAJMUDAR & S.S. SHINDE, JJ. Date: 02.05.2011 Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. Since the petitioner has also prayed that in revenue record, his name should be mutated, in our view, the matter cannot be treated as PIL as the petitioner has personal interest in the subject matter. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that the interest of others is also involved in the matter. In our view, the WP 3455/10 2 present petition cannot be entertained as a PIL at the instance of the petitioner as his personal interest is also involved in the subject matter. If the petitioner or any other person has any personal grievance regarding their individual rights, it is open for them to take appropriate proceedings in accordance with law as deemed fit and proper. Present petition in the form of PIL is, therefore, not required to be entertained by the Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, requested that if this matter is not treated as PIL, the amount deposited by the petitioner may be refunded to him. The amount deposited by the petitioner be refunded to the petitioner. Subject to what has been observed above, the petition is rejected. (S.S. Shinde, J.) (P.B. Majmudar, J.)
