My point is public interest litigations should not be filed to take
cheap popularity. These should be filed with utmost care by senior
most lawyers . this is not expected of a national level forum to take
serious matters so lightly. So a word of caution to all those whose
half baked moves to get cheap popularity for self takes an issue out
of the hands of the people forever.
