Rishi Kesh Tiwari v. State of U.P. and 5 Others
Public Interest Litigation – maintainability
Case brief
What is this about?
Allahabad High Court (Arun Bhansali, CJ and Kshitij Shailendra, J), PIL No. 3629 of 2025, decided November 26, 2025 - Rishi Kesh Tiwari v. State of U.P. and 5 others - PIL dismissed; challenge to grant of tender for vehicle stand at C.M.O. Office; petitioner failed to disclose credentials/locus standi; tender participant must approach the Court; PIL at the instance of someone else not countenanced.
What did the court decide?
Where the plea pertains to depriving an appropriate person of grant of tender, the person who had participated in the tender has to approach the Court; a petition apparently filed at the instance of someone else cannot be countenanced in the nature of a PIL. ¶14
