Allahabad High Court

SUDHIR KUMAR DUBEY AND 13 OTHERSversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 2 OTHERS

Decided

Holding

A writ petition that is not pressed with the necessary specifics must be dismissed, albeit with liberty to re‑file a detailed petition.

Summary

The petitioners, Sudhir Kumar Dubey and 13 others, filed Writ‑A No. 15492 of 2026 before the Allahabad High Court seeking relief against the State of U.P. and two other respondents. The petition was found to be deficient because it was not pressed with the specific details required for a writ petition. Counsel for the petitioners prayed that the petition be dismissed as not pressed, with liberty to file a fresh petition providing the necessary particulars. The Court accepted this prayer, noting the procedural inadequacy of the filing. Consequently, the petition was dismissed as not pressed, and the petitioners were granted liberty to re‑file a properly detailed petition.
