Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.5pt;line-height:&#10;115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;&#10;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;letter-spacing:.5pt;mso-ansi-language:&#10;EN-IN;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">The traditional approach to the &ldquo;standing&rdquo; is based on Anglo-Indian jurisprudence and traditional adversary system. It arose during an era when private law dominated the legal scene and public law had not yet been born. According to the traditional rule, judicial redress is available only to person who has suffered a legal injury by reason of violation of his legal right or legally protected interest by the impugned action of the State, a public authority or any other person or who is likely to suffer a legal injury by reason of threatened violation of his legal right or legally protected interest by any such action.</span></p>
