Locus Standi

Locus Standi: The Latin Maxim “Locus Standi” consists of two words namely “locus” which means place and “standi” means the right to bring an action.So, collectively, it means the right to appear or the right to bring an action before the court. As per this maxim, one person needs to show his legal capacity before approaching the court. It means the person can only approach the court when his personal interest is suffered or an injury is inflicted upon him. This maxim is one of the fundamental principles of the adversarial litigation system. In a commercial transaction between A and B, A acted fraudulently and due to which B suffered whopping damage of 100 crore. Now, only A has the locus standi to approach the court as his legal right is violated. A local cable TV operator approached the court against the BCCI by stating that he has suffered huge damage due to the suspension of IPL on account of covid 19. The court will dismiss the suit at the outset because there is no direct relationship between the act of the BCCI and the monetary injury that occurred to him. So, he doesn’t have the locus standi to institute a suit against BCCI.
