CSo in the university of Hyderabad , there’s an on going issue about the government trying to take over 400 acres of land , land that’s a part of the university and is a major oxygen pocket for the city, for infrastructure developments for future IT parks .There has been a PIL filed , can multiple people file a PIL over the same issue ? Whats the process to do so ?And is there anything we can do to bring the deforestation to a halt , at least temporarily?

HA Public Interest Litigation (PIL) is essentially a writ petition filed before a High Court or the Supreme Court of India, seeking judicial intervention in matters of public interest. Multiple people can file PILs on the same issue. However, it is likely that such petitions will be clubbed together and heard jointly to avoid multiplicity and conflicting judgments.
If you want to halt deforestation activities, you should file an Interim Applicatio along with your PIL, requesting a stay on such activities until the petition is adjudicated.

CThanks , can u walk me through the procedure ? I’m sorry if I’m asking too much of you , I’m just extremely new to these things

HYou will need to engage an advocate to file the PIL. Although courts can take suo motu cognizance and register a PIL without a formal petition, in this case, since a PIL on the matter already exists, filing a second PIL will require following the standard filing procedure.
