When PIL is filed in a High Court, is it necessary that only Chief Justice of the High Court should hear before admitting the case.
Whether Chief Justice can dismiss the case even before admitting PIL without assigning any reasons.

Yes the PIL will go the CJ only.

The CJ can dismiss the case even without admission, but, assigning some reasons.

Thank you Mr.Arunagiri for the prompt response to my doubts. What is the next step if the reasons assigned by the Chief Justice of High Court are logically not acceptable. Whether we can release the order passed by the CJ of High Court to the press along with the proceedings?

Advocate. Arunagiri (Expert) 16 January 2012
You can approach the SC.

You can release the order of CJ in press, with acceptable comments or without comments.
