Allahabad High Court

M/S RJ NAMKINOSversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 2 OTHERS

Decided

Holding

The writ petition is dismissed as defective.

Summary

The petitioner, M/s Rj Namkinos, challenged an adjudication order dated 30‑04‑2026 and filed an appeal which was dismissed as time‑barred on 09‑09‑2025. Although the court granted time to amend the appeal, the petitioner failed to file any amendment and did not seek any relief against the appellate order. The petition was therefore deemed defective for not challenging a specific order. The court observed that any challenge to the appellate order would have to be filed before a single judge. Consequently, the writ petition was dismissed as defective, with the petitioner directed to pursue appropriate remedies, including filing a fresh petition.

Issues considered

  • The petition is defective for not seeking relief against the appellate order
  • Whether the writ petition can be entertained despite the appeal being dismissed as time‑barred

Subjects

  • procedural defect
  • time‑barred appeal
  • writ petition
  • High Court of Allahabad

                                    Court No. - 3
                                                    HON'BLE SAUMITRA DAYAL SINGH, J.
                                                    HON'BLE SWARUPAMA CHATURVEDI, J.

                                    1. Heard Shri Umesh Maurya, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri
                                    Ankur Agarwal, learned counsel for the revenue.

                                    2. Though a challenge has been raised to the adjudication order, it is not
                                    disputed, against the adjudication order dated 30.04.2026, the petitioner
                                    had filed appeal which has been dismissed as time barred by order dated
                                    09.09.2025 (Annexure 7 to the writ petition).

                                    3. Despite time granted, no amendment has been filed.

                                    4. Since no relief has been sought against the appellate order, writ petition
                                    is defective.

                                    5. Learned Standing Counsel also points out, if a challenge were to be
                                    raised against the appellate order, the writ petition would lie before the
                                    bench presided over by a learned single judge.

                                    6. In view of the above, present petition is dismissed as defective. It is
                                    left open to the petitioner to avail appropriate remedies including filing a
                                    fresh petition.



                                                      (Swarupama Chaturvedi,J.) (Saumitra Dayal Singh,J.)
