The Patna High Court dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed seeking to ensure the safety and security norms in facilitating new retail outlets of petroleum products to be in consonance with Indian Road Congress-2009 based on which Ministry of Road Transport and Highway (MORTH) have issued guidelines.
The PIL has been one Dhirendra Kumar Shahi.
The petitioner in the petition itself was concerned with the establishment of only one petrol pump at Kanti Motipur Road in village Mahima Gopinathpur of Motipur Block, District-Muzaffarpur.
“Later, the petitioner sought to implead the allottee of the petrol pump. Obviously, this is not a Public Interest Litigation and it is against the allotment of a petrol pump to one person.”
In such circumstance, the Division Bench of Chief Justice K. Vinod Chandran and Justice Harish Kumar did not entertained the matter as a Public Interest Litigation and dismissed the same specifically finding that there is no reason to invoke the extraordinary remedy that too by an application filed as a PIL.
