Holding
The writ petition is dismissed as premature because the petitioner failed to comply with the earlier order to submit documents.
Summary
The petitioner, Sanjay Kumar Yadav, had earlier obtained a quashing of orders that cancelled his appointment and withheld his salary in Writ A No.13959 of 2019, with the court directing the respondents to pass appropriate orders. In compliance, the respondents issued an order on 17 February 2026 requiring the petitioner to submit all educational documents to conclude the inquiry. Instead of complying, the petitioner filed a new writ petition (Writ A No.6019 of 2026) alleging premature action by the respondents. The court observed that the petitioner had not responded to the earlier direction and that the present petition was premature. Consequently, the court dismissed the writ petition and allowed the respondents to complete the inquiry within two months. The dismissal underscores the principle that a petitioner must first comply with procedural directions before seeking further relief.

Court No. - 52
HON'BLE MRS. MANJU RANI CHAUHAN, J.
List revised. None appears on behalf of the petitioner.
On 27.04.2026, when the case was taken up, learned counsel for the
petitioner also not appeared even in the revised call.
Heard Mr. Ashish Kumar Nagvanshi, learned counsel for respondent nos.3
& 5 and perused the record.
The petitioner had earlier approached this Court by means of filing Writ A
No.13959 of 2019 (Sanjay Kumar Yadav vs. State of U.P. Thru. Special
Secy. Basic Education And Ors.), wherein the impugned orders related to
cancellation of appointment, withholding of salary, and other consequential
orders were quashed, however, the respondents were directed to pass
appropriate orders in accordance with law.
In compliance with the aforesaid directions, an order dated 17.02.2026 has
been passed calling for the petitioner to place all the educational documents
at the earliest so that the inquiry may be concluded within stipulated period.
However, instead of responding to the aforesaid, the petitioner has filed the
present petition, which is premature.
In view of above, the writ petition is dismissed.
The respondents shall be at liberty to proceed in accordance with law and
conclude the inquiry within a period of two months from today.
