Dear Sir,
One PIL is currently subjudice in the High Court. My question is .. when Mr. X, who is NOT a party to the PIL, but feels that he has certain things to say in the PIL, then what should he do so that he is also heard by the Court? Should he file another petition in the court requesting that he should be heard in the previous PIL? or Should he submit an application in the court requesting that he be heard too?
In this case, if Mr. X wants to file a separate petition in the High Court, my question from a lawyer's point of view is ... What is the format of the petition, i mean, under what law or section of the Act petition can be filed? What section or Act should the lawyer write on TOP of the petition?

Sanjay! In the given matter, the person interested to become a party to the same petition should move an application teling in detail his interest in the petition. The notice to the already impleaded parties shall be given and after hearing them, the application shall be duly decided if the same stands on merits.
There is no use to file separate petition for this purpose and even if one is adamant then he shall in heading mention the name of High Court and then names of parties and so on like a civil suit.
