CWP No.2102 of 2008. 30.10.2008 Present: Mr. Neeraj K. Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. J.K. Verma, Deputy Advocate General, for respondents No.1 to 3. According to the petitioner, he claims that this petition is a Public Interest Litigation. Whereas the petitioner’s interest is involved and others also who are equally placed have not approached this Court. It has been further claimed by the petitioner that he is the President of the Parents-Teachers-Association. If one teacher can approach this Court, the others can also. We are of the considered opinion that Public Interest Litigation can only be filed on behalf of those downtrodden persons who cannot approach the Court. With these observations, the writ petition is dismissed as not maintainable. It is, however, open for the petitioner to approach the appropriate forum in accordance with law. (Jagdish Bhalla), C.J.
