Neetu ...Appellants vs State Of Punjab And Ors. ...Respondents on 8 January, 2007

10. So far as the locus standi is concerned, it has been vociferously contended by Respondent No.5 and to some extent by Respondent No.4 that the petitioner has filed the writ petition only as a publicity interest litigation or a politically inspired litigation and such writ petition should not have been entertained and should be dismissed. For the aforesaid purpose, Respondent No.5 has placed reliance upon the decision of the Supreme Court reported in AIR 2007 SC 758 (NEETU v. STATE OF PUNJAB AND OTHERS). Except vaguely alleging that the writ petition is politically inspired, Respondent No.5 has not brought on record any acceptable material worth its name, to come to a conclusion that the litigation is in fact politically inspired. Merely because certain news items have appeared in some newspapers it cannot be said that the writ petition was a politically inspired one. Similarly, the allegation that the writ petition was a publicity interest litigation is also devoid of any substance and has remained only an attractive phrase repeated with monotonous regularity in the affidavit.
