& Another
Review Petition No.1529 of 2019(Gwalior): against the order dated 4.10.2019 passed in W.P. No. 20404/2019; Decided on12.12.2019
(1) Constitution of India -- Art. 226 -- judicial review -- scope -- review proceedings cannot be converted into appeal -- review jurisdiction can be successfully exercised only when order under review suffers from error apparent on face of record -- power should be exercised sparingly, cautiously and in exceptional situations -- where necessary for doing complete justice and enforcing fundamental rights. AIR 2013 SCW 1316, (1998) 4 SCC 409 and (2009) 14 SCC 663 followed. [Paras 7 & 9]
(2) Constitution of India -- Art. 226 -- public interest litigation -- locus standi -- PIL may be moved by public spirited citizen for public cause by invoking writ jurisdiction of superior Courts. AIR 1981 SC 298, (2005) 3 SCC 91, (1976)3 SCC 832, AIR 1962 SC 149 and AIR 1973 SC 1369 discussed. [Para 12]
(3) Constitution of India -- Art. 226 -- public interest litigation -- includes litigation, or legal action, which seeks to advance cause of public concern -- not defined inany statute -- it is the outcome of judicial activism -- mandate -- there should be no private interest -- even Court can take cognizance of matter if it is of utmost public importance -- condition precedent for filing PIL -- thorough research of matter required. [Para 14]
(4) Constitution of India -- Art. 226 -- public interest litigation -- locus standi -- only person actingbona fide and having sufficient interest in proceeding of PIL will alone have locus standi and can approach Court to wipe out tears of poor and needy, suffering from violation of their fundamental rights -- not person for whose personal gain or private profit or political motive or any oblique consideration the PIL is filed -- vexatious petition under colour of PIL, brought for vindicating any personal grievance, deserves rejection at threshold. [Para 19]
