It is pertinent to mention that the Orissa High Court dismissed all Public Interest Litigations (PILs) in relation to Srimandir Heritage Corridor project. The High Court quoted the judgment of the Supreme Court and dismissed the PILs.
The Supreme Court had rejected a public interest litigation petition against construction activities around the iconic Shree Jagannath Temple premises. The Apex Court strongly deprecated the practice of filing publicity interest litigations. A bench of Justices BR Gavai and Hima Kohli stated that such petitions need to be compressed in the bud since they waste the time of the courts.
