Constitution of India - Article 226 - Public Interest Litigation- PIL jurisdiction cannot be permitted to become a mechanism to settle the scores between the competing officers - If a person is aggrieved by any action of the State with regard to his illegal removal from the service or due to denial of his legitimate claim to a post, such an officer can very well take recourse to the remedies available to him in law - Public Interest Litigation is a mechanism, which has been devised by this Court so as to dilute the issue of locus and permit public spirited person to approach this Court or the High Courts on behalf of the persons who, on account of their social and economic backwardness, are not in a position to approach the High Courts or this Court. (Para 3-6)
