2025:UHC:7738 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS WPMS/2557/2025 Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J 1. Mr. Bilal Ahmed, learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. Mr. Ganesh Kandpal, learned Deputy Advocate General for the State of Uttarakhand. 3. Petitioner has challenged order dated 07.03.2025 passed by Lokpal Appellate Tribunal, whereby appeal filed by respondent nos. 7 to 9 was allowed. Petitioner has challenged the order passed by Lokpal Appellate Tribunal on various grounds. 4. Learned State Counsel points out that petitioner does not have any locus standi in the matter, as Lokpal Appellate Tribunal has decided the appeal in favour of Gram Pradhan, Village Development Officer and Rojgar Sewak, and petitioner has no concern with the matter. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that it was the petitioner on whose complaint Lokpal, under The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, has passed order against these three persons, therefore, the Appellate Authority ought to have given hearing to him. 6. This Court finds substance in the submission made by learned State Counsel. Merely because petitioner made a complaint does not give him a locus 2025:UHC:7738 standi to challenge the order passed by Lokpal Appellate Tribunal. On this short point alone, the writ petition is dismissed, as not maintainable.
