Allahabad High Court

SMT. KARUNA NIRALAversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 2 OTHERS

Decided

Holding

The Court held that it will not entertain the merits of the petition as the question of the existence of the System Analyst post is pending before the State.

Summary

The petitioner, Smt. Karuna Nirala, filed a writ petition challenging the existence of a post of System Analyst in the EDP Cadre of the State of Uttar Pradesh. The petitioner sought judicial intervention to compel the State to recognize or create the post. The respondents, the State and two other parties, contended that the matter was pending before the appropriate administrative authority. The Court observed that the substantive question of whether such a post exists is still under consideration by the State and therefore it would not adjudicate the merits at this stage. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition, directing the concerned authority to reach a final decision expeditiously. No substantive order regarding the existence of the post was made.
