Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:79758-DB Chief Justice's Court Case :- PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION (PIL) No. - 1083 of 2025 Petitioner :- Ashok Kumar Patel Respondent :- State of U.P. and 4 others Counsel for Petitioner :- Amit Kumar Shukla Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Vijai Prakash Tiwari Hon'ble Arun Bhansali,Chief Justice Hon'ble Kshitij Shailendra,J. 1. This petition purportedly in public interest has been filed by the petitioner seeking a direction to the respondents to act on the inquiry report dated 26.8.2014, against respondent no. 5. 2. Submissions have been made that though in the report (Annexure-1), the respondent no. 5 was found guilty of wrong doing, no action has been taken and, therefore, the respondents be directed to act on the said inquiry. 3. A perusal of record indicates that the purported inquiry report was submitted on 26.08.2014 and for the first time the petitioner filed application under the Right to Information Act, 2005 in February/March 2024 seeking information pertaining to its implementation, on which it was informed on 03.04.2024 that old records are not maintained and it must have been weeded out. Not a word has been indicated in the petition as to after passage of over 10 years, which action/event triggered the interest of the petitioner in getting to know about the implementation of the report dated 26.08.2014 and filing petition before this Court for action on the said report. A PIL cannot be filed for raking up stale cases wherein no present cause of action is available to the petitioner. 4. Consequently, we do not find any good reason to entertain the petition, the same is, therefore, dismissed.
