.. Petitioner
The State of Maharashtra & Ors. .. Respondents
Mr. G. T. Kanchanpurkar for the Petitioner. Ms. Nisha Mehra, AGP for Respondent Nos.1 & 12. Mr. B. D. Joshi for Respondent No.3.
CORAM : PRADEEP NANDRAJOG, C.J. & SMT. BHARATI DANGRE, J. DATE : 6 th SEPTEMBER, 2019.
P. C. :
This is a frivolous Public Interest Litigation. Persons holding diploma in Civil Engineering are also entitled to be registered under the applicable bye-law and submit application on behalf of owners of land for sanction of a building plan. Respondent Nos.8,9 & 10 have a diploma in Civil Engineering and thus as per the bye-laws have been rightly permitted to act on behalf of the third party and submit application seeking sanction of the building plan. The Public Interest Litigation is dismissed.

As recorded by the court registry
Litigation brought on behalf of the public interest rather than a personal grievance, relaxing the usual rule of locus standi.
