ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice) We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner.

2. The petitioner, an Advocate, seeks to raise an issue in a public interest litigation in respect of promotion and posting of Inspectors of Police, alleging that it is ''Gender Discrimination''. We are not satisfied that such a public interest litigation can be maintained at the behest of the petitioner in respect of a posting matter of third parties and thus, we are not inclined to entertain this writ petition.

3. The writ petition is thus dismissed, leaving the parties to bear their own costs.
