Allahabad High Court

SMT. VISHESHA DEVI AND ANOTHERversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 3 OTHERS

Decided: 29 September 2026
Bench: GAUTAM CHOWDHARY

Holding

The petition is dismissed as it is not maintainable due to the existence of a pending case on the same subject.

Summary

The petitioners, Smt. Vishesha Devi and another, filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court challenging the actions of the State of Uttar Pradesh and three others. The petition was opposed by the respondents, who argued that the matter was already pending in another case, Mu. A. S. No. 366/2026, under Section 87 of the B.N.S. at Thana Barkheda, Pilibhit district. The learned permanent advocate for the respondents contended that because the issues were already before another forum, the present petition was not maintainable. The court examined the pleadings and the claim of pendency. Concluding that the earlier case subsumed the present relief sought, the court dismissed the writ petition as non-maintainable.

Issues considered

Whether the writ petition is maintainable when a substantially similar matter is already pending in another case (Mu. A. S. No. 366/2026).
