The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to entertain a petition by a lawyer seeking urgent and time-bound implementation of the women’s reservation law to ensure 33 per cent quota for women in the Lok Sabha elections next year.

Observing that the petitioner has no “personal interest” in the matter, Justice Subramonium Prasad asked her to file a public interest litigation (PIL) instead.

“What is your personal interest in it? Prayer is purely in public interest,” the judge said.
