consist of public spirited citizens who have take up the cause of ventilating legitimate public problems. This Society received a large number of representations from old pensioners, individually unable to undertake the journey through labyrinths of legal judicial process, costly and protected, and, therefor, approached petitioner No. 3 which espoused their cause. Objects for which the third petitioner-Society was formed were not questioned. The majority decision of this Court in S. P. Gupta v. Union of India, 1981 (Supp) SCC 87 : (AIR 1982 SC 149 at p. 194), rules that any member of the public having sufficient interest can maintain an action for such judicial redress for public injury arising from a breach of public duty or from violation some provision of the Constitution or the law and seek enforcement of such public duty and observance of such constitutional or legal provision. Third petitioner seeks to enforce rights that may be available to a large number of old infirm retirees. Therefore, its locus standi is unquestionable. But it is a point of academic importance because locus standi of petitioners Nos. 1 and 2 was never questioned.”
