LR-44 Advice to a student desiring to file PIL about injustice in school/college

Dear Student,

This is about your desire to file PIL in High Court about injustice meeted out to students on campus.

In my view, students should not enter in such disputes. They suffer backlash at time of exam results. They get poor marks in Exam as per what I have heard.

2) Anyway, even if you wish to file PIL,  you have to first find out which law, which circular or which resolution of Govt is violated by school/college authorities. 

Judge s can direct them to do something only if you show that that school / college authorities have acted in violation of some law, some Govt circular, some Govt resolution.

3) Instead of PIL, particularly, when you are not aware of all facts, and when your RTI are not being replied,  it is better to file a civil suit in trial court. In suit you can serve interrogatories on them to admit or deny something on Oath or to produce record or to produce applicable Govt Resolutions.

Think over.
