Public Interest Litigation No.2 of 2015
DATED:02.02.2015

….Respondents
THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SRI KALYAN JYOTI SENGUPTA AND
THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR
Public Interest Litigation No.2 of 2015
Order: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Sri Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta)
This application is premature as no demand of justice has been made. It is settled law that any writ petition for a mandamus must be preceded by a demand of justice. Nothing has been done in this matter.
Hence, this Public Interest Litigation is dismissed on that ground alone.
Consequently, the miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall also stand closed. No order as to costs.
