Locus Standi Expires with Tenure | Former Chairperson of Haj Committee Cannot Challenge Post-Tenure Appointment Under Haj Committee Act, 2002 : MP HC Gwalior
The Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that once a public officeholder's tenure ends, they lose all legal standing to challenge subsequent appointments-even if the appointment is allegedly ultra vires. This clarifies that only current officeholders or directly affected parties may seek judicial review of administrative appointments, reinforcing the principle that standing is tied to present legal interest, not past office.
