What is this about?
Allahabad High Court; Court No. 79; Neutral Citation 2025:AHC:12384; HABEAS CORPUS WRIT PETITION No. 58 of 2025; single-judge bench (Saurabh Srivastava, J.); order dated 23.1.2025. Petitioner: Smt. Geeta And Another (counsel Anup Kumar Pandey); Respondents: State of U.P. and others (counsel G.A.; argued by A.G.A.). Corpus: Simran Singh (petitioner no.2), alleged illegally detained by respondent no.4. Disposition: dismissed on preliminary objection of non-maintainability, as a specific FIR had already been lodged by petitioner no.1 for the same cause of action implicating respondent no.4 as accused.
What did the court decide?
The preliminary objection of the learned AGA that the habeas corpus petition is not maintainable — because a specific FIR has already been lodged by petitioner no.1 for the same cause of action implicating respondent no.4 — is justified, and accordingly the present petition stands dismissed.
