2013 (1) TMI 360 - DELHI HIGH COURTWrit filed in public interest by an Advocate practicing in this Court - questioning the functioning of the Tribunal without the Presiding Officer - Held that:- Public interest litigation affecting the administration of justice, at the instance of the Advocates practicing in the court/fora and representing litigants before that court/fora can be entertained in as much as those lawyers would have locus to the extent of being directly affected by the functioning of the said courts/foras. However the petitioner herein who is represented through another counsel who is registered with the Bar Council of Rajasthan and has given the address of his Jaipur office also are indeed strangers and not concerned with the Tribunal qua functioning whereof grievance has been made. Therfore not inclined to entertain the present petition, which appears to be for the benefit of persons interested in delaying the proceedings before the Tribunal, rather than in public interest. The reliefs claimed in this petition, aimed at bringing the functioning of the Tribunal to a standstill to be in public interest. Thus following guidelines in relation to public interest litigations as stated in Guruvayoor Devaswom Managing Committee v. C.K. Rajan [2003 (8) TMI 470 - SUPREME COURT] the present is not a fit case for being entertained any further, in public interest.
