The top court said PIL other than being in public interest is detrimental to public interest. The apex court said there has been a mushrooming growth in PILs in the recent past. It deprecated the practice of filing frivolous PILs and said it is an abuse of law. The top court was hearing a plea filed by Ardhendu Kumar Das and others alleging illegal excavation and construction work by the Odisha government at the temple.
