PAARDARSHITA PUBLIC WELFARE FOUNDATION Vs. UOI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) If there has been abuse of the process of public interest litigation in a court in its conceptual essentiality and connotative eventuality, it can irrefragably be stated that the present litigation which has been styled as a 'Public Interest Litigation' by a non-Governmental organisation represented by its General Secretary frescoes a picture and projects the scenario in the complete sense inasmuch as it fits into the said compartment in an apple pie order for the conduct shown by the representative not only buries all sense of propriety but also, as the facts would unfurl, endeavours in a maladroit manner to gain advantage of certain beneficial legislation and judge made law. We have commenced the order with a prologue of this nature as the gradual undraping of the factual matrix would vividly so reveal.

(3.) It is asserted in the petition that the General Secretary of the Non-Governmental Organization is a social worker and is dedicated to expose the corruption and initiate proceedings against the corrupt government officers. It is asseverated that the petitioner received information from various sources that officials of MCD, NDMC and other Government Engineering Departments entrusted with the execution of engineering works under Common Wealth Games have flouted CVC guidelines and CPWD specifications for their personal gains at the cost of public exchequer.
