1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the State, Shri Sarthak Singh, learned counsel for respondent no.4 and Shri Gaurav Kumar Chand, learned counsel for respondent no.1.
2. Though the petition is ostensibly filed in public interest, the petitioner has not made due disclosure as required by sub-rule (3- A) of Rule 1 of Chapter XXII of the Allahabad High Court Rules, 1952 which was amended in view of the judgement of the Supreme Court passed in State of Uttaranchal vs. Balwant Singh Chaufal and others reported in 2010 AIR SCW 1029.
3. Hence, we decline to entertain the petition, since, we are not satisfied in regard to the bona fides and credentials of the petitioner.
4. The petition is, accordingly, dismissed with liberty to file a fresh petition after making required disclosures, if so advised. There shall be no order as to costs. (Anish Kumar Gupta, J.)
