THE CHIEF ENGINEER, RURAL WORKS DEPTT., VISHWESAWARAIYA BHAWAN, PATNA AND 6. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, NALANA …….. ……………………………………….. RESPONDENTS. ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Bipin Bihari Singh, Advocate. For the State: Ms. Nilu Agarwal, G.A.-X and Mr. Krishna Murari, AC to GA-X. ---------- 2. 13.04.2010. The singular question that emanates for consideration in this writ petition whether a person, who had applied for tender, not being awarded the contract, would come forward to challenge that the entire procedure for award of contract has been given an indecent burial and the State has been put to immense financial jeopardy, to have the characteristics of a Public Interest Litigation. Having heard Mr. Bipin Bihari Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner, we are of the considered opinion 2 such a writ petition does not even remotely suggest any kind of public interest. On the contrary, what could be objected by individualistic effort is being sought to be projected as a collective interest which is impermissible. In the result, we perceive no merit in this writ petition inasmuch as we are of the view this is not a Public Interest Litigation and, resultantly, the petition, being sans substance, stands dismissed in limine.
