    Summary The Bombay High Court dismissed the public interest litigation filed by Sandeep Agrawal challenging compensation to Haldiram Food International Limited by Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation. The court held that disputes regarding land acquisition compensation and contractual rights between parties to a 2002 agreement must be resolved through arbitration or regular civil proceedings, not PIL, as the petitioner was a stranger to the agreement with no standing. The court found the petition was filed with oblique purpose and had misused the PIL mechanism, which was originally intended to represent the voiceless poor rather than to obstruct public projects.
