¶22

We are afraid that while exercising our writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, we cannot grant such reliefs which are claimed by the Petitioner in this PIL.

¶23

So far as prayer clause (ii) is concerned, it is well settled position in law that this Court while exercising writ jurisdiction cannot issue a writ of mandamus, directing any Legislature Body to pass a law. Therefore, prayer clause (a) cannot be granted. So far as prayer clause

¶24

¶25

(iii) is concerned, this Court cannot pass such an order. The Petitioner is at liberty to file an appropriate suit before the appropriate Court. So far as prayer clause (iv) is concerned, this Court cannot pass an order declaring that Respondent No.2 is disqualified to accept any political or Government post and the said direction can only give by the Competent Authorities constituted under the provisions of law and that Authority can take a decision to disqualify Respondent No.2. PIL filed by the Petitioner is devoid of any substance. Hence, PIL is dismissed.
