Now anyone can file a PIL If MP or MLA if not vacating bungalow after term is over

It is in news today that Supreme Court has laid down guidelines that they have to vacate bungalow in one month as soon as term is over.

Directions/Guidelines are given to authorities to start proceedings if they do not vacate in time.

VAST IMPLICATION OF THIS JUDGEMENT


It means that if authorities are not starting steps for vacating bungalow, any public spirited citizen, as per advice of his advocate, can move High Court to direct authorities to take steps as per guidelines by Supreme Court. Because such guidelines are law of the land under Art.141

This has empowered people and has made Democracy stronger.
