For this, the Court relied on <em>Bholanath Mukherjee<\/em> v. <em>Ramakrishna Mission Vivevkananda Centenary College<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/LoginForNewsLink\/9V7yTNB6\">(2011) 5 SCC 464<\/a> in which the Supreme Court had held that in service matters a Public Interest Litigation petition does not lie.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Observing that the petitioner was a non-legal person, the Court held that it being only a non-legal person did not have any personal interest, and the personal interest would be of individuals who are employees of respondent.
