None appears on behalf of the Petitioner and the Respondents. By this petition, which is filed as PIL, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, Petitioner is seeking following reliefs: "(a) This Hon'ble Court be pleased to enquire into this case and pass appropriate orders;
(b) This Hon'ble Court be pleased to order an enquiry against the High Power Committee of SRA for their order dated 20.2.2010 in which they revoked their previous order dated 25.9.2009 to Stop Work notice against the Developer though concrete evidence was placed on record before the High Power Committee 1 / 2
PILL. 98-15 of SRA;
(c) This Hon'ble Court be pleased to order an enquiry against the Addl Collector (Enc. / Reh.) for giving false statement before the High Power Committee of SRA as recorded in the second order of 30.3.2009 to protect the interests of the Developer.
(d) The petitioner adds this Hon'ble Court be pleased to frame appropriate guidelines and specifically direct all the administrative and pass speaking orders in cases pertaining to slum redevelopment."
2.
By this PIL, Petitioner is seeking to challenge the order passed by the High Power Committee dated 22.2.2010. In our view, it cannot be said that public interest is involved in this petition / PIL. If any person is aggrieved by the said order, remedy for him is to approach an appropriate forum. The said order is passed in 2010 and the present petition / PIL has been filed on 27.7.2015. Apart from maintainability of the petition / PIL, there is gross delay in filing this petition / PIL. We are, therefore, not inclined to entertain this petition as PIL. It is clarified that those persons who are affected by the said order dated 22.2.2010 may approach the competent authority. Reserving this right of such persons, PIL is disposed of.
