RAMSHARAN AUTYANUPRASI & ANR. vs UNION OF INDIA & ORS.

The Supreme Court dismissed a public interest litigation under Article 32 concerning the management of the Sawai Man Singh II Museum Trust, holding that the dispute was not pro bono publico but rather a personal grievance among members of the Raj family. The Court emphasized that public interest litigation must address direct and tangible threats to fundamental rights, as outlined in Article 21, and not merely settle individual disputes. The petition was deemed not maintainable as it failed to advance any public right and instead sought to exploit private grievances.
