Shivam Trader, r/o 811/23, DLF Colony, Rohtak. ...... Petitioner Vs State of Haryana and others. ......Respondents CORAM:-HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI, CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present: Mr. Neeraj Kumar, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * * RANJAN GOGOI, C.J. (ORAL) This PIL has been filed seeking an inquiry against the respondent No. 4 with regard to purchase of materials/goods in the official capacity by the said respondent without issuing any tender. It is further alleged that the goods were procured at exorbitant rates. Some particular instances of the alleged illegalities/irregularities are set out in the writ petition wherein it is also stated that the petitioner had approached the Lok Ayukta, Haryana to look into the matter. Evidently, the complaint of the petitioner before the Lok Ayukta, Haryana is still pending. In such circumstances, instead of entertaining this PIL, we are of the view that it would be appropriate for the petitioner to pursue his remedies before the Lok Ayukta, CWP No. 2749 of 2011 2 Haryana who has already been approached. PIL is, therefore, not being entertained. In the event the petitioner continues feel aggrieved by the decision as may be taken by the Lok Ayukta it will be open for him to approach this Court once again, if he is so advised.
