JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) Heard Mr. Salman Khurshid, learned senior counsel along with Mr. Sriram
Parakkat, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Basavaprabhu S.
Patil, learned senior counsel along with Mr. M.R. Naik, learned Advocate
General for the State of Karnataka.
(2.) The present special leave petitions depict a picture where one can unhesitatingly say that the conception of a public interest litigation is
conceived by some either to establish one's identity in public because he
suffers from some kind of identity crisis or he is impelled by some kind
of peculiar thought which he feels that every facet of any decision has
some public interest to be agitated in a court of law; although there is
none.
(3.) As the facts would unfold, two ladies, namely, Leelavati w/o Vasudev Bhatt Dixit and Ms. Jayshree w/o late Vittal Bhatt Dikshit donated 5
acres of land situate in the Taluk Aland in the District of Kalburagi in
the State of Karnataka for construction of a "Mini Vidhana Soudha". Be it
clarified, "Mini Vidhana Soudha" is a Taluk office meant for officers to
function from one compound. Various departments at the Taluk level are
required to function in a cohesive and cooperative manner. A decision was
taken by the Government not to establish the "Mini Vidhan Soudha" at the
originally chosen place at Aland, but to shift to another place in the
same Taluk.;
