The Punjab and Haryana High Court has dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Kuljit Singh Bedi, the deputy mayor of Mohali, against the ₹790 crore 'Mohali’s Next Generation Programme' initiated by the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA). The court, led by Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Sanjiv Berry, imposed a fine of ₹25,000 on Bedi, stating that the PIL was essentially a personal grievance disguised as a public cause, and thus not maintainable. During the hearing, Bedi's counsel failed to substantiate the claims made in the PIL, as the documents referenced were not part of the official pleadings. Bedi had challenged the tender process for the road development project, which aims to upgrade, resurface, and beautify roads and junctions in Mohali. He argued that the municipal corporation's approval was not obtained for the project and raised concerns about including roads that had been recently constructed or were still under development in the tender plan. The court found that Bedi's claims did not constitute a valid public interest issue, leading to the dismissal of the PIL.
