A public interest litigation cannot be used by a petitioner who previously supported the actions being challenged, as it constitutes an abuse of the judicial process.
The allotment of land to the respondent companies was illegal and violative of the provisions of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955, and the Rules made thereunder.
Provisions of the Act No.30 of 2013 cannot be clubbed with the APMRUDA Act, 2016 and the Rules, 2016.
Petitioners cannot assert rights for land allotments when their claims are contingent on another party's pending applications, especially after such approvals have expired.
