Locus Standi
On perusal of the aforesaid provision it appears that the key words are "any person" who can make an application under Article 102(2)(b)(ii) of the Constitution. This question as to who is/are the "any person" that has been clarified by this Division in the case of Bangladesh ve Md Aftabuddin reported in 15 BLC (AD) 25 wherein it has been held "writ petition before the High Court Division being one under Article 102(2)(b)(ii) of the Constitution does not require that the applicant for a writ of quo warranto must be an aggrieved party. Any person can maintain such an application without showing any violation of his legal right." Again, in the case of National Board of Revenue vs. Abu Saeed Khan reported in 18 BLC (AD) 116 this Division has spelt out who can come forward as a public interest litigant. Therein this Division has set fourteen parameters within which the High Court Division should or should not extend its discretionary jurisdiction in entertaining a Public Interest Litigation including that if it is to protect the basic human rights of the disadvantaged citizens who are unable to reach the Court due to illiteracy or monetary helplessness. In the present case a person has been admitted/enrolled as an advocate, who was convicted for an offence involving moral turpitude, before elapsing/expiry of the period fixed in the Rules. Thus a disqualified person being enrolled as an advocate the clients, mostly illiterate and financially helpless, would not get appropriate legal assistance from him and their basic human rights would not be protected by him. So, the writ petitioner has locus standi to file the writ petition challenging his enrollment as an advocate as a public interest litigant in a writ of quo warranto under Article 102(2)(b)(ii) of the Constitution. [73 DLR (AD) (2021) 109]
