Allahabad High Court
REKHA BHATIversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 3 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The petition is not maintainable and is dismissed.
Summary
Petitioner Rekha Bhati filed a writ petition seeking a mandamus directing the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) to decide on her application for transfer of allotment rights of a residential plot in favor of a third party, Subhash Chandra, and also sought direction to the State of Uttar Pradesh to enforce any such order. The petition alleged that failure to decide would cause irreparable loss. The Court examined the prayer and observed that the petitioner was not seeking transfer in her own favour but for a third party, which is not permissible under the writ jurisdiction. Consequently, the Court held that the petition was not maintainable. The petition was dismissed.
