PIL – Tweets after filing PIL against the Government and the High Court –

The PIL was filed on 23.10.2024, it was mentioned before the High Court on 12.2.2025 and it was to be listed on 20.2.2025.   However, on 12.2.2025, the petitioner published tweets against the government authorities and the High Court.  The conduct of the petitioner in publishing the tweets is not bona fide and same tantamount to scandalizing the Courts.

Suppression of facts – The petitioner has not disclosed the litigation between the parties as per the details given in para 24 of the judgment and therefore, guilty of suppression of facts.

Rules 5 and 7 of the Bombay High Court Public Interest Litigation Rules, 2010 – requires the petitioner to furnish details of any civil, criminal or revenue litigation involving the petitioner. 

The petitioner has also not filed an affidavit as per Rule 7 of the said Rules that there is no personal gain, private motive or oblique reason in filing PIL, an undertaking to pay cost if ordered by the Court and if it is found that the petition is frivolous, file an undertaking disclosing the source of information leading to filing of PIL, etc.   Thus, the petitioner has not complied with the mandate of Rules 5 and 7 of the Rules.

Judgment dated 18.3.2025 of the High Court of Bombay in PIL [L] No.32968 of 2024 (OS) of V. Ravi Prakash President RTV  Vs.  Mumbai Metropolitan Development Authority and others
