WPA 22188 of 2024 15.1.2025 Kanishk Sinha & Anr.. -vs-The State of West Bengal & Ors. ct.25, sl.14 sk Mr. Shankar Nath Mukherjee Mr. Niraj Gupta Ms. Manisha Paswan ….for the petitioner. Mr. Swapan Banerjee Mr. Ankit Surekha ….for the Howrah Municipal Corporation. The petitioners have filed the present case challenging the authority of the respondent/Howrah Municipal Corporation for issuance of a prescribed format, to be an application format, for grant of enrolment to e-rickshaws. The petitioners claim themselves as patent holders of e-rickshaw and thus challenges the steps taken by the respondent/Howrah Municipal Corporation as above. So far as the claim of the petitioners to be the patent holders of e-rickshaws is concerned, there is no material available on record to substantiate their such claim. The petitioners claim their rights and allege infringement of such right, on the basis of the patent of e-rickshaws being held by them. Hence, in absence of any cogent material having been brought on record, as to ownership of patent by the petitioners, they cannot be considered to have any locus standi, to move under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Hence, neither the petitioners have locus standi, in this case, nor they have been able to put forth 2 submissions supported by any sufficient and tangible material. Thus their contentions appear to be false, fabricated and frivolous. The writ petition, having no merit, is dismissed. (Rai Chattopadhyay, J.)
