A Division Bench of Justice Rajan Roy and Justice Manjive Shukla said the pleadings contained “general and vague averments” regarding police interference and removal of posters of certain religious leaders of Iran.
The Court added that the petitioner gave no specific instance of any action with respect to any house or premises where the poster was pasted or installed.
“On such vague and general averments a Public Interest Litigation cannot be maintained nor proceeded with.
If there is any specific cause against any such police person under any provision of law, then the remedy prescribed in this regard can be availed, but we see no reason to consider such an omnibus prayer based on such averments,” the Court said on July 7.
