It doesn't. I have been living in Ranchi (the capital city of Jharkhand)
on and off since 2003. When I heard about it in 2003, I tried to trace
down the details of the PIL. The only  thing I came to know is that it was
filed by some Lawyer. I tried people higher up in the Ranchi High-Court
and was unable to trace out the person.

But, the entire thing was more of a farce. Jharkhand Govt., has hence
moved onto MS Technologies in a big way. Linux is only limited to a few
machines at NIC.

Does a PIL do everything. Maybe we should file a PIL to help remove all
disclaimers in e-mails in India -;)
