\n

Allahabad High Court:<\/span> In a public interest litigation (‘PIL’) filed seeking a direction to the Union to make a law\/act for protection of men from illegal prosecution and other harassment by women, the Division Bench of Arun Bhansali, CJ., and Kshitij Shailendra, J., rejected the PIL<\/span>, holding that except for reference to certain news items, wholly cursory averments were made. Thus, no case was made out in the petition for entertaining it as a PIL.<\/p>\n
