Allahabad High Court
AMINAversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 5 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The writ petition was disposed of, and the court directed the pending authority to decide the complaint within sixty days.
Summary
The petitioner, Amina, filed a writ petition in the Allahabad High Court seeking relief while a related complaint filed by her on 5 July 2025 before Respondent No.2 was still pending. The petitioner argued that the pending complaint should be decided before the writ petition proceeds. The court noted that the matter before Respondent No.2 had not yet been adjudicated. Consequently, the court disposed of the writ petition and directed Respondent No.2 to consider the pending complaint within sixty days of the order. No substantive merits of the writ were examined, and the petition was effectively stayed pending the other authority’s decision.
Issues considered
- Whether a writ petition should be entertained when the subject matter is pending before another authority
- Whether the court can direct the pending authority to decide the complaint within a specified time
