Holding
The petition is dismissed as ineffective because a FIR under the relevant sections had already been registered.
Summary
The petitioners, Smt. Simran Verma and another, filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court challenging the actions of the State of Uttar Pradesh and others. The court observed that a First Information Report (FIR) had already been registered under Munsif No. 244 of 2026, invoking Sections 87 and 351(3) of the B.N.S., at Bhatni police station on 18 August 2026 against the same subject matter. Consequently, the court held that the petition had become ineffective and could not be entertained. The petitioners' counsel was unable to rebut the senior advocate's submission regarding the prior FIR. Accordingly, the court dismissed the petition as ineffective.
