Mahesh v. the State of U.P.
Case brief
What is this about?
Short single-issue order dismissing a criminal appeal as not maintainable because the same appellant (Mahesh) had already preferred Criminal Appeal No. 525 of 1988, admitted and pending, against the identical judgment and order dated 27.06.1988. Relevant to: multiple/second appeals against the same order, maintainability objections raised by the State (A.G.A./Govt.Advocate), and clubbing of appeal records. Bench: Rajiv Gupta, J. and Pramod Kumar Srivastava, J.; Allahabad High Court, Lucknow; decided 14.11.2025.
What did the court decide?
The instant criminal appeal is not maintainable because the appellant has already preferred Criminal Appeal No. 525 of 1988 against the same impugned judgment and order dated 27.06.1988, and that appeal has been admitted and is pending disposal; accordingly the present appeal is dismissed as not maintainable.
