    The Madras High Court dismissed the Public Interest Litigation petition filed by Rahul seeking a mandamus to transfer revenue officials posted in their native villages for over five years, citing that public interest litigation is not maintainable in service matters. The court held the petition to be "perverse and misconceived," while permitting the Election Commission of India to independently consider any representations submitted by the petitioner in accordance with law.
