BARIN GHOSH, C.J. (Oral)
In the present writ petition filed by four petitioners, public interest to the effect that appointments have been given to the private respondents in violation of regulations made by the UGC, has been highlighted. In the counter affidavit, respondent University has pointed out that it is not a Public Interest Litigation, but is a Private Interest Litigation, inasmuch as, the son of petitioner No.2 was not selected, and that, petitioners have placed reliance upon informations received by yet another unselected candidate Mr. Sanjeev Kumar under the Right to Information Act. This averment has not been disputed. We, therefore, do not find that the present Public Interest Litigation is a Public Interest Litigation. We, accordingly, refuse to interfere with the matter. The writ petition is dismissed.
