The present petition has been filed in the nature of public interest litigation, seeking a direction to initiate enquiry against the respondent nos. 5 and 6 on the complaint of the petitioner in respect of corruption and misappropriation on their part. The petitioner has also prayed a direction to consider and decide the representation of the petitioner in accordance with law.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the allegations raised in this petition for corruption and misappropriation on the part of the respondent nos. 5 and 6 for which the petitioner can very well approach the

Lakayukt Organization by filing an appropriate complaint before the competent authority under the M.P. Lokayukt Evam Up-Lokayukt Adhiniyam, 1981.

Learned counsel for the State relying on the judgment passed by the Division Bench in the case of Kanhiyalal Vishwakarma Vs.

In view of the aforesaid, the present Public Interest Litigation stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the Lokayukt Organization in accordance with law.
