Holding
The petition is dismissed as it is not maintainable because the same matter is already pending in another case.
Summary
Gajala and another filed writ petition No. 35765 of 2026 before the Allahabad High Court against the State of Uttar Pradesh and three others. The respondents filed a counter‑affidavit and the permanent advocate argued that the same matter is already pending as MU A S No. 728/2026 under Sections 87 and 351(2) of the B.N.S. at Quarsi police station, Aligarh. The court examined the pleadings and accepted the contention that the petition is not maintainable because the issue is already before another forum. Consequently, the court held that the writ petition must be struck down. The petition was dismissed on the ground of non‑maintainability.
Issues considered
- Whether the writ petition is maintainable when the same cause of action is already pending in another case (MU A S 728/2026).
- Whether the doctrine of res judicata applies to bar the filing of the present petition.
