Though the petitioners say that this is a PIL by an Association of Teachers, we find that the essential grievance is the alleged interference in the rights of the Members of the petitioners to render service. In an oblique or indirect manner, such a grievance cannot be projected by way of a PIL. This being the settled legal position, the PIL is disposed of. (R.I. CHAGLA, J.) (S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
