Allahabad High Court
RAJENDRA SINGHversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 4 OTHERS

Holding
The writ petition is dismissed insofar as the orders already appealed or under revision are concerned.
Summary
The petitioner, Rajendra Singh, challenged three disciplinary orders: one dated 18‑09‑2024 (appeal rejected on 08‑11‑2024 and revision rejected on 24‑12‑2025), another dated 06‑02‑2025 (appeal rejected on 31‑05‑2025), and a pending revision against the latter. The Court held that the writ petition could only address the first order, as the second order was already subject to a pending revision. Consequently, the petition was dismissed with respect to the pending revision and the earlier order, leaving no relief available. The decision underscores that a writ petition cannot override pending disciplinary appeals or revisions.
Issues considered
- What is the scope of a writ petition when the orders challenged are already under appeal or revision?
- Can the High Court entertain a writ petition against a disciplinary order that is pending before a revisional authority?

HON'BLE PRAKASH PADIA, J.
1. Against the order dated 18.09.2024 passed by the
disciplinary authority against which appeal was
rejected on 08.11.2024 petitioner preferred a
revision before the State Government, which was
rejected on 24.12.2025. In so far as order passed by
the disciplinary authority dated 06.02.2025 is
concerned appeal filed by the petitioner has already
been rejected on 31.05.2025.
2. It is argued by counsel for the petitioner that
against the aforesaid order revision has already been
preferred by the petitioner, which is still pending
consideration.
3. In this view of the matter, present writ petition is
confined only in so far as the orders passed against
the petitioner dated 18.09.2024 against which appeal
was rejected on 08.11.2025 and revision 24.12.2025
is concerned.

06.02.2025 is concerned against which appeal filed
by the petitioner has already been rejected on
WRIA No. 5384 of 2026
