Rajesh Kagra & Ors vs State Of M.P.& Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of locus standi in the context of Writ Appeals concerning the gradation list of Assistant Engineers. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the petitioners lacked the standing to appeal as they were not parties to the original writ petition and did not claim seniority over the respondents. The Court emphasized that any grievances regarding their rights must be pursued through separate writ petitions, thereby affirming the lower court's ruling and dismissing the Special Leave Petitions.
