Jayanta Kumar Dey v. Deputy Commissioner Ranchi
Case brief
What is this about?
Jharkhand High Court, Ranchi — W.P (PIL) No. 3432 of 2020, Jayanta Kumar Dey v. Deputy Commissioner, Ranchi & State Bank of India (decided 06/2.4.2024; Coram: Rongon Mukhopadhyay & Deepak Roshan, JJ.). Keywords: public interest litigation dismissed as misconceived; loan against leasehold land; direction to Deputy Commissioner Ranchi; State Bank of India loan sanction; Swarna Jayanti Swa Rojgar Yojna; working amount; security money Rs. 40 lakhs (Rupees forty lakhs) refundable with interest; personal grievance not PIL; earlier W.P.(PIL) No. 3656 of 2018 dismissed as withdrawn / grievance redressed; petitioner in person; Rajesh Kumar for SBI; PIL dismissed, no relief granted.
What did the court decide?
This Public Interest Litigation is misconceived: despite the documents shown by the petitioner in person, the prayer amounts to a personal grievance (sanction of loan against leasehold land), apart from the fact that in the earlier round the petitioner had withdrawn a similar PIL (W.P.(PIL) No. 3656 of 2018) since his grievance stood redressed.
