IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION
WRIT PETITION NO. 11469 OF 2016
Vijaykumar Popatlal Shah
...Petitioner
vs
The State of Maharashtra Ors. ...Respondents
Mr Vilas B. Tapkir for the Petitioner Mr Rahul Herlekar for Respondent Nos.2 and 3. Mr R.S.Pawar AGP for Respondent No.1.
CORAM : R.M.BORDE & R.G.KETKAR, JJ. JANUARY 22, 2018.
P.C. :
The information sought for by the Petitioner can be collected from the National Grid. Apart from this, the application seeking information itself appears to be quite vague
and unwarranted. In exercise of extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, this is not fit case for causing interference. The Petition is devoid of substance and stands rejected. No order as to costs.
