<h1>PIL challenging electricity distribution companies privatization dismissed for lack of concrete evidence and premature filing</h1> The Allahabad High Court dismissed a public interest litigation challenging the proposed privatization of two electricity distribution companies in Uttar Pradesh. The petitioner filed the PIL regarding privatization of power distribution companies, citing communications from the state power corporation. The court, comprising Chief Justice and Justice, observed that the challenge was based on assumptions and noted the petitioner had not approached authorities seeking relevant documents. The petition sought writs to terminate privatization proceedings, claiming non-compliance with rules and the Companies Act 2013, and requested mandamus for professional management and technically qualified board appointments. The court found no grounds to entertain the petition at this stage and dismissed it, while allowing the petitioner to pursue appropriate legal proceedings. The court noted that only technical bid evaluation by the power corporation's committee had been indicated, with no additional material produced.
