“Show us your complaint. Please see if you are serving the national interest, public interest or your own publicity interest” said Court of Acting Chief justice Gita Mittal.
The observation came as the lawyer for petitioner Puran Chand Arya had raised the issue of dismissal of Yadav from the BSF.
The High Court said such broad statements should not be made in the PIL.
The matter will now be heard on May 5.
