He claims to be the Secretary of Public Grievance Cell, an unrecognized organization. The grievance of the 2 petitioner is in respect of certain roads in the city of Patna which have fallen in disrepair. First, the petitioner has no legal existence. A petition by an unrecognized organization even in public interest is not maintainable. Second, it is the administrative duty, rather it is the administrative function of the Municipal Corporation to maintain roads, drainages etc. A public interest litigation for repair of a particular road need not be entertained. The petition is dismissed in limine. Neyaz/ ( R. M. Doshit,CJ.) ( Jyoti Saran, J.)
