Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
This PIL was dismissed on the ground of lack of locus standi. The court observed that if petitioners were parties to Municipal Council resolutions, they should seek remedy under the Maharashtra Municipal Councils, Nagar Panchayats and Industrial Townships Act, 1965, rather than invoking the court's extraordinary jurisdiction.
What did the court decide?
The petition is rejected for lack of locus standi and the deposit is diverted to the High Court Legal Services Committee.
