Orissa high court imposes Rs 50,000 fine on 5 for misusing PIL
The Orissa High Court fined five petitioners Rs 50,000 for misusing Public Interest Litigation to challenge a public officer's posting. The court held that service-related matters like transfers fall within the executive domain and dismissed the plea, deeming it an attempt to cloak a service dispute as a PIL.
