Case Law Details
State of Jharkhand Vs Shiv Shankar Sharma (Supreme Court of India)
Supreme court held that High Court cannot entertain Public Interest Litigations (PIL) which is based on mere allegations by the person who has not been able to fully satisfy his credentials.
Facts-
The question before this Court is whether the petitions which have been filed before the Jharkhand High Court in the form of Public Interest Litigations are maintainable in view of the settled position of law laid down by this Court in several of its earlier decisions. The question is also whether these PILs comply with the provisions of the Rules relating to the Public Interest Litigations, which is the Jharkhand High Court (Public Interest Litigation) Rules, 2010 (for short “Rules, 2010”) and if they do not, were the petitions filed as PILs liable to be dismissed at the very threshold if they were not in compliance of the provisions of the above Rules relating to PIL.
