Important Point
Where no public interest is involved in the petition and High Court rightly found the petitioner to be a busy body, such a interloper cannot be permitted to maintain public interest litigation petition.

Order

Delay condoned.

2. The writ petition filed in the High Court by the petitioner concealed material facts as is noticed in the impugned order. The petitioner appears to have filed the litigation for someone. There is no public interest involved in the petition. The High Court rightly found him to be a busy body and, in our opinion, such a meddle-some inter­loper cannot be permitted to maintain Public Inte­rest Litigation Petition. The courts cannot allow their forum to be misused in the garb of “public interest”. This special leave petition is, therefore, dismissed with Rs. 5,000/- as costs.

(N.K.R.) SLP dismissed.
