2.The Petitioner claims to be an Actor, who has participated

¶24

in several social functions and cultural activities. He claims that his
annual income is Rs. 40,000/-.

¶25

3.We had a serious doubt about the genuineness of the
cause put forth by the Petitioner, read with the prayer clauses wherein
he desires an order to be issued by this Court to hold inquiries against
the respondents, cancel all purchase orders and initiate legal action
against the respondents. Hence, we directed the Petitioner to deposit
Rs.3,00,000/- (Rupees Three Lakh) in this Court in view of Rule 7A(i)
of the Bombay High Court Public Interest Litigation Rules 2010. The
learned Advocate for the Petitioner submits that the petitioner is
present in the Court and cannot deposit the said amount.

¶26

4.In view of the above, we are not inclined to entertain this
petition as a Public Interest Litigation. The same is, therefore,
dismissed.
