Keywords: locus standi, PIL, unauthorized construction, godown, public land, khasra, Jasmeet Singh, 2026.
What did the court decide?
No rights of the petitioners are affected; the petition is not a Public Interest Litigation and, on its face, appears to be for motivated and extraneous purposes. ¶17
