She has impleaded the general public as the respondent. The petitioner's application for impleadment has been dismissed by the trial Court. The petitioner claims that the mother of the two minor girls is wasting away the property of the minors. The trial Court has dismissed the application on the ground that the petitioner has no locus standi. Apart from the other reasons, the petitioner is a member of the general public. He has a right to appear on behalf of the general public and by that virtue he has sought to file his objection.
