What is this about?
Allahabad High Court, PIL No. 3737 of 2025, Ram Lakhan Yadav v. State of U.P. and 4 others (decided 26.11.2025, Arun Bhansali CJ and Kshitij Shailendra J): PIL seeking direction for construction of interlocking road at Village Ugrasenpur @ Bibipur, P.S. Phulpur, Tehsil Handia, District Prayagraj dismissed as not maintainable where it merely sought execution of the SDM Handia's order dated 03.11.2025 requiring the BDO Pratappur to act; compliance of an executive order is for the authority itself, not a matter for PIL.
What did the court decide?
A PIL filed within eight days of an authority's order, essentially seeking execution of that order, cannot be countenanced. ¶13
