Article 226: Laws Of Pleadings Don’t Go Missing In Writ Petitions; Locus Standi Essential To Maintain Writs

Case: J&K PSC Vs Dr Rajeev Gupta

Coram: Justices Sindhu Sharma and Rahul Bharti

Case No.: WP(C) No. 802 of 2022

Court Observation: “The fact remains that the writ petition is divorced of the elementary pleading as to the locus standi of the petitioner J&K PSC in assailing the impugned judgment of the Central Administrative Tribunal Jammu Bench which is surely not affecting or meaning to affect any legal/statutory/constitutional right and status of the petitioner J&K PSC”

“The writ petition constrains us to observe that there are no pleadings to show, lest to prove, the locus standi of the petitioner J&K PSC in the facts and circumstances of the case”
