Kushum Lata vs Union Of India And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) by the Allahabad High Court, emphasizing that the appellant, an intending bidder, lacked the standing to file the PIL as it was deemed to serve personal interests rather than genuine public interest. The Court reiterated that PILs should not be misused for personal disputes and must involve real public interest, referencing the principles established in The Janta Dal v. H.S. Chowdhary. The Court concluded that the High Court's decision was correct and the appeal was dismissed.
