Allahabad High Court
RAJEEV KUMAR AND 2 OTHERSversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 4 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The writ petition is dismissed for lack of specific legal and factual averments, but may be entertained upon a fresh, substantive representation.
Summary
Petitioners Rajeev Kumar and two others filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court seeking the grant of a specific pay scale for a post. The petitioners' counsel was unable to cite any specific legal provision or factual averment supporting their claim. The Court noted the lack of a substantive basis for the relief sought. In the interest of justice, the Court disposed of the petition, directing that the petitioners may make a fresh representation with a substantive legal and factual position. Only upon such a fresh representation will the respondents consider the claim for the pay scale.
Issues considered
- What legal basis, if any, supports the petitioners' claim to a specific pay scale for the post?
- Whether a writ petition lacking specific averments or statutory provisions is maintainable?
Subjects
- writ petition
- pay scale
- administrative law
- justice
- fresh representation
