Holding
The petition is dismissed as it is rendered ineffective by the prior registration of an FIR.
Summary
The petitioners, Priyanka Chauhan and another, filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court. The court was informed that an FIR (First Information Report) had already been registered under MCO No. 343 of 2026, Section 87 of the B.N.S., at Kasimabad police station on 10 September 2026 against the accused. The learned senior advocate for the petitioners could not rebut this submission. Consequently, the court held that the petition had become ineffective because the matter was already pending before the criminal authorities. The petition was therefore dismissed.
Issues considered
- Whether the writ petition is maintainable when an FIR has already been lodged against the accused under the relevant provisions.
