While considering the PIL , the Division Bench of Acting Chief Justice S.K. Mishra and Justice R.C. Khulbe noted from the record that though the petitioner said that he has received several complaints from different individuals of Pithoragarh and Almora but not a single complaint has been filed in the Petition.

Moreover, the Court observedd that the document that has been prepared by the petitioner are all self serving documents being prepared in hand on a paper and not a single copy of the receipt has been filed in the PIL to show that actually opposite party/ /company has received money from any of the respondent of Pithoragarh and Almora for the purpose of creating saving deposit or any other financial purpose.
