PIL Locus Standi Barred When Statutory Remedy Exists Under LARRA : Allahabad HC
Allahabad HC dismisses a PIL seeking land acquisition benefits, ruling that petitioners must exhaust the statutory remedy under the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation & Resettlement Authority (LARRA). The court held that a union secretary lacks locus standi to challenge settlements already accepted by affected landowners, reinforcing that PIL cannot bypass exclusive statutory forums.
