Allahabad High Court
MAHENDRA PAL SAGARversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 5 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The writ petition was disposed of without notice, directing the petitioner to pursue the matter before the Three Members Committee.
Summary
Mahendra Pal Sagar filed Writ No. 35713 of 2026 challenging actions of the State of Uttar Pradesh and five other respondents. The petitioner had already submitted a representation dated 27‑07‑2026 to the Joint Director of Education (Secondary), Bareilly, seeking redress before a Three Members Committee. The Court observed that, in the absence of a notice to the contesting respondents, the writ petition could be disposed of because the matter was pending before the Committee. Accordingly, the Court dismissed the writ petition and directed the petitioner to file a fresh representation (Dasti) before the Committee. The Committee was instructed to hear the matter and issue a reasoned order within three months, as per the Government Order dated 19‑12‑2000, amended on 17‑06‑2026.

HON'BLE SAURABH SHYAM SHAMSHERY, J.
1. Heard Sri Prabhakar Awasthi, learned Senior Advocate assisted by Sri
Sarthak Ahuja, learned counsel for petitioner and Sri R.P. Tiwari, learned
Standing Counsel for State-Respondents.
2. The Court finds that without issuing notice to contesting-respondent, this
writ petition can be disposed of since petitioner has already approached a
Three Members Committee by way of filing a representation dated
27.07.2026 addressed to Joint Director of Education (Secondary), Bareilly
Region, Bareilly.
3. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of that said Committee will
consider aforesaid representation after hearing concerned parties and pass a
reasoned order expeditiously in terms of Government Order dated
19.12.2000 as amended on 17.06.2026. It would be better if petitioner
submits a fresh representation/ application by way of Dasti. The Three
Members Committee will take all endeavour to conclude hearing within a
period of three months from the date of filing of application.
