This query is : Resolved
i have a moot prob regarding dowry act in which 5 lakhs was paid to the husband before marriage even when he had not demanded it. after 4 months of marriage when he wanted a divorce the wife filed a false dowry f.i.r that the husband and his family are demanding and pressurizing her for dowry.
he formed a SAVE INDIAN FAMILIES ASSOCIATION (SIFA) And filed a writ petition on its behalf challenging the constitutional validity of the dowry prohibition act.
can he do so and from where do i find the locus standi of the association

Yes, any registered association/individual has locus standi to file Writ Petition as Public Interest Litigation before the HC or SC. The Courts will decide the issue on merits.
