Dehra Dun, May 11 (PTI) The Uttarakhand High Court today dismissed Public Interest Litigations (PILs) on alleged irregularities in the construction work carried out during Mahakumbh mela last year. Hearing two PILs, a two-judge Bench of the High Court comprising Chief Justice Barin Ghosh and Justice Sarvesh Gupta at Nainital dismissed them observing that they are not maintainable, said Uttarakhand Advocate General S N Babulkar. The court said under article 151 (2) of Constitution, the competent authority or tribunal must take appropriate action on the Comptroller and Auditor General's report, he said. The PILs were filed in the High court on the basis of the CAG report which has said that wasteful, avoidable and unauthorised expenditure of nearly Rs 43 cr was done during Mahakumbh mela. The CAG report will be sent to Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for examination, said Chandrashekhar Upadhyay, Officer on special duty for the Chief Minister.
