It was observed that the said writ petition which was not in the nature of public interest had failed to show any legal injury suffered by petitioner and does not espouse a personal cause. Even after the dismissal of the writ petition it appears that learned Advocate for petitioner prayed for continuation of interim relief, which was then opposed and by the same order the Division Bench of this Court observed that they were not inclined to continue the interim relief and, therefore, it was then rejected. The first order in this matter came to be passed on 21.09.2021, however, at that time also no interim relief was given. The petitioner was asked to deposit amount of Rs.75,000/- to show his bona fides as per Rule 7-A of the Bombay High Court Public Interest Litigation Rules, 2010. Thereafter also the matter was on board on 12.10.2021, on which day the notices came to be issued to respondents. Thereafter, till 02.04.2026 the matter was never got circulated by petitioner. That means, for about 5½ years the petitioner kept quiet, though he intended to raise a public interest. This fact itself is required to be taken against petitioner. If he had really the intention to raise the issue as a Public Interest Litigation after the dismissal of his writ petition which was in the private interest that is his own interest, the petitioner ought to have been vigilant.
