HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION (PIL) No. - 1248 of 2025 Court No. - 1 HON'BLE RAJAN ROY, J. HON'BLE INDRAJEET SHUKLA, J. 1. Heard. 2. This is a Public Interest Litigation. 3. We have gone through the pleadings and the relief(s) prayed. In the pleadings, we do not find any foundation on facts for the reliefs prayed in the writ petition. No doubt on a bare perusal of the relief clause, the issues raised appears to be important but then what is the cause of action. If the petitioner files a PIL then he is required to do some research work before filing a PIL. There has to be some basis for the reliefs prayed when the petitioner says that the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 is not being properly implemented including in private schools, there have to be specific facts averred in this regard with reference to specific instances, which may have come to the petitioner's knowledge and some data needs to be given. What we find is that the petitioner has simply referred to the various provisions of law and has averred that the Act is not being implemented properly and has filed the petition. This is not how a PIL should be filed. In fact this is a typical case which proves that a good cause may suffer on account of such casual filing of PIL. We are not inclined to entertain this PIL for the reasons aforesaid and Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Nitin Kumar Mishra, Vipin Kumar Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C. Munnalal .....Petitioner(s) State Of U.P. Deptt. Of Basic Education, Lko. And 3 Others .....Respondent(s) accordingly dismiss it. 4. The petition is dismissed.
