Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:132613-DB Chief Justice's Court Case :- PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION (PIL) No. - 1902 of 2025 Petitioner :- Rajesh Kumar Dwivedi Respondent :- State of U.P. and 6 others Counsel for Petitioner :- R S Dubey, Vinkesh Ojha Counsel for Respondent :- Achal Singh, Jagdish Pathak, S.C. Hon'ble Arun Bhansali,Chief Justice Hon'ble Kshitij Shailendra,J. 1. This petition purportedly in public interest has been filed by the petitioner, inter-alia claiming himself to be socially active and looking after the welfare of his society and that he works in public interest. 2. Submission has been made that respondent nos. 5 & 6 are involved in embezzlement of certain funds qua which the Deputy Director (Panchayat), has written communications to the Chief Development Officer on 20.03.2025 and 26.05.2025 for taking action, however, no action has been taken. 3. A perusal of the petition indicates that the said Deputy Director (Panchayat), has been making complaints against two of the Secretaries of the Gram Panchayat and apparently the petitioner, has been set up for filing the present petition as based on the complaints made by the said Deputy Director, no action apparently has been taken. 4. A perusal of the representation made by the petitioner on 17.06.2025 indicates that the only reference made is that of the communications dated 20.03.2025 and 26.05.2025 sent by the Deputy Director (Panchayat) and as to from where the said communications have been obtained by the petitioner, the petition is silent. 5. Filing of the Public Interest Litigation, at the instance of certain persons by simply shooting a purported representation and approaching the Court for taking action based on such a representation essentially is misuse of jurisdiction of the Public Interest Litigation. 6. The petition has no substance, the same is, therefore, dismissed.
