Allahabad High Court

SMT SALMA KHATOON AND ANOTHERversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 5 OTHERS

Decided

Holding

The Court held that the impugned order was passed without taking note of the two Government Orders and therefore disposed of the writ petition with a direction for possible review.

Summary

Petitioners Smt. Salma Khatoon and another filed a writ petition challenging an order passed by the State of Uttar Pradesh and others. The petitioners alleged that the impugned order was rendered without consideration of two Government Orders dated 20 May 2025 and 21 May 2025. The Court examined the submissions and observed that the order indeed failed to take note of those Government Orders. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition, directing that if the Government Orders favor the petitioners, the concerned respondent may seek a review of the impugned order. No substantive merits of the petition were decided beyond this procedural observation.
