Lalan Kishor Singh v. the Union of India, Ministry of Home Affairs (Mha), Thr. Secretary, New Delhi and Others
Case brief
What is this about?
PIL 31/2026, Bombay HC Nagpur DB (Shree Chandrashekhar CJ & Anil S. Kilor J), decided 20-04-2026: petition by Lalan Kishor Singh seeking recovery of Z+ VVIP security charges from RSS/Sar Sanghchalak Shri Mohan Bhagwat by respondent nos. 1, 2 and 4, and enforcement of Apex Court judgment in Union of India v. Bikash Saha (2022 SCC Online SC 1227), DISMISSED; Court found no public interest, no disclosed source or required research, petition motivated and an abuse of process; counsel's submissions on threat-basis for Z+ cover were not adopted as holdings.
What did the court decide?
No public interest is involved in the writ petition marked as Public Interest Litigation: the petitioner does not disclose details about himself or the source of his information, does not state that he conducted sufficient research as required under the relevant Rules, and apparently rushed to Court on a newspaper report; the PIL is a motivated petition amounting to abuse of the process of law.
