Allahabad High Court

ASHUTOSH KUMAR SINGHversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 2 OTHERS

Decided: 27 September 2026
Bench: SUDHANSHU CHAUHAN

Holding

Since the cause of action for the writ petition ceased to exist after compliance with the earlier order, the petition was dismissed.

Summary

Ashutosh Kumar Singh filed a writ petition (WRIT‑C No. 32586/2026) against the State of Uttar Pradesh and two other respondents. The standing counsel submitted instructions indicating that the Sub‑Collector of Jaunpur assumed charge on 3 June 2026 and that the order passed in RIT petition No. 18945/2025 dated 4 June 2025 had been complied with in the revenue records. The petitioner’s counsel did not contest these facts. The court observed that, on the basis of the compliance, the cause of action for the writ petition no longer existed. Consequently, the petition was deemed unnecessary and was consigned to the record, effectively dismissing it. The judgment was delivered by Justice Sudhanshu Chauhan on 28 September 2026.

                                    Learned Standing Counsel, in pursuance of the direction of this Court, has
                                    placed the instructions before this Court, which is taken on record.

                                    The relevant part of the instructions provides as under:

                                            "मा० न्यायालय को यह अवगत कराना है प्रतियाची संख्या-2 द्वारा उप जिलाधिकारी, सदर
                                            जौनपुर के पद का कार्यभार दिनांक 03.06.2026 को ग्रहण किया गया है। मा० न्यायालय में
                                            योजित रिट याचिका तथा पारित आदेश संज्ञान में आने पर रिट याचिका संख्या-
                                            18945/2025 में पारित मा० न्यायालय के आदेश दिनांक 04.06.2025 का
                                            अनुपालन/अमलदरामद राजस्व अभिलेखों में करा दिया गया है। (संलग्नक-1)


                                            उक्त वर्णित तथ्यों के आधार पर याची द्वारा दाखिल रिट याचिका निस्तारित किये जाने योग्य है।
                                            "

                                    Learned counsel for the petitioner also does not dispute the aforesaid
                                    position.

                                    In view of the above, the cause of action for filing the writ petition does
                                    not survive and, therefore the same is consigned to record.



                                                                                                       (Sudhanshu Chauhan,J.)
