Allahabad High Court

YOGESH KUMARversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 2 ORS.

Decided

Holding

The petition was dismissed as withdrawn.

Summary

The petitioner, Yogesh Kumar, filed a writ petition in the Allahabad High Court seeking a certiorari to quash the order dated 15 September 2015 that cancelled his promotion to the post of Head Clerk Khand Shiksha Adhikari, and also sought a mandamus directing his promotion. The petition was filed against the State of Uttar Pradesh and two other respondents. Counsel for the petitioner appeared and later, on instructions, moved to withdraw the petition. The court noted the withdrawal request and, having no further relief to consider, dismissed the petition. Consequently, the order cancelling the promotion remains undisturbed as the petition was withdrawn.
