PILs are for issues affecting the public, not personal matters. In your case, you should file a regular legal petition in the High Court (like FIR quashing or defamation case) instead of a PIL. A PIL will not be accepted unless you show how the issue affects society, not just you. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
