Allahabad High Court

ARADHNA YADAV AND ANOTHERversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 3 OTHERS

Decided: 8 September 2026
Bench: GAUTAM CHOWDHARY

Holding

The petition is dismissed as non‑maintainable because the same matter is already pending before another court.

Summary

The petitioners Aradhna Yadav and another filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court challenging a decision of the State of Uttar Pradesh and three others. The petition was filed under Section 137(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The respondents argued that the same matter had already been registered as Mu. A. San 61/2026 in the B.N.S. Court at Gauri Bazar, Deoria. The learned judge examined the pleadings and found that the issue was already pending before another forum, rendering the present petition non‑maintainable. Consequently, the court dismissed the writ petition as it was deemed unnecessary and liable to be struck down. The dismissal was recorded on 9 September 2026 by Justice Gautam Chowdhary.

Issues considered

Whether the writ petition is maintainable in view of a pending case (Mu. A. San 61/2026) concerning the same subject matter.
Whether Section 137(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code can be invoked in the present petition.
