Petitioner himself claims to have prepared some project report on the Revival of Disaster Cell (Watch and Warning Prevention and Mitigation Services) and stated to have sent the report to the Cabinet Secretary, Government of India and Chief Secretary, Government of Andhra Pradesh. The petitioner requested the Central Government to take the weather forecasting Scale and Earthquake forewarning Geoscope and issue relevant instructions to India Meteorological Department for further development and implementations of the models in the services of the country people and to the State Government to take draught combating proposals and issue relevant instructions. In other words, petitioner wants that whatever he had said in the report must be accepted by the respondents and action plan must be taken by the respondents on what he has suggested in his report. Such petition cannot be treated as public interest litigation to issue any direction to the respondents. Petitioner has already forwarded his views to the Central Government and to the State Government. It is for the Central Government and State Government to consider or not to consider the petitioner’s views. There cannot be any intervention by the judiciary by issuing directions to respondents to consider the petitioner’s suggestions and pass orders thereupon.
