Summary
The petitioner, Sanjay Kumar Pandey, filed a writ petition seeking a mandamus directing the respondents, the State of U.P. and others, to consider his case without first approaching the appropriate authority for grievance redressal. The Court examined whether the petition was maintainable given the procedural requirement of exhausting alternative remedies. It held that the petition was not maintainable because the petitioner had not approached the relevant authority. Consequently, the Court declined to interfere in the matter. The petition was dismissed at this stage.
