Article 226 Writ Petition | Locus Standi Limited to Personal Legal Interest; Cannot Challenge Demolition Order Affecting Third Parties : Madras HC

The Madras High Court ruled that a writ petitioner under Article 226 cannot challenge a demolition order affecting third parties if their own rights are protected by an undertaking. The Court reiterated that relief under Article 226 must be confined to the petitioner's personal legal interest, reinforcing the principle of locus standi in public law remedies.
