Allahabad High Court
HIRA SINGH RAWAT AND 48 OTHERSversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 3 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The writ petition was disposed of without merits, and the petitioners' representation was ordered to be decided within three months.
Summary
The petitioners, Hira Singh Rawat and 48 others, filed a writ petition seeking a mandamus directing the respondents to execute a sublease deed for flats in Greater Noida and to decide a representation dated 27.07.2026 within a stipulated time. They also sought costs and any other appropriate relief. The petitioners limited their prayer to a direction for timely consideration of their representation, relying on a prior Division Bench judgment. The Court observed that keeping the petition pending would serve no useful purpose. With the parties' consent, the Court disposed of the petition without addressing the merits, directing that the representation be decided expeditiously, preferably within three months of the order. No costs were awarded, and the petition was dismissed with the observation regarding the representation.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriate remedy, if any, for the petitioners' demand that the respondents execute the sublease deed?
- Whether the High Court should entertain a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to decide the petitioners' representation within a specified time.
