The Rajasthan High Court imposed a Cost of Rs.50,000/- on the Petitioner and dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed alleging that in the city of Bikaner several commercial establishments have come up in the periphery control area and such constructions are illegal.
The PIL has been filed by one Rahul Rewar .
The Court earlier issued notice on 02.02.2022.
In this case, on 10.10.2022 the High Court after going though the petition has found that no details regarding the illegal commercial establishments nor the names of the persons who allegedly raised the illegal construction have been mentioned in the writ petition.
Therefore, the Court was of the opinion that the petition lacks material particulars. At that stage, a prayer was made by the counsel for the petitioner for grant of time to furnish details.
The Division Bench of Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice Kuldeep noted that there is nothing on record to show that the order has been complied with. The petitioner has abused the process of law and has wasted the time of the writ court by engaging in a frivolous petition. Without any material details and particulars, this PIL has been filed.
“Considering above, we are inclined to dismiss this petition.
Accordingly, this petition is dismissed with cost of Rs.50,000/- which shall be deposited in the registry of the High Court within a period of 30 days, failing which appropriate recovery proceedings will be drawn against the petitioner”, the order reads.
