Ambika Prasad v. State of U.P. and 6 Others
Case brief
What is this about?
Threshold treatment of a writ petition (WRIT - C No. - 3509 of 2025, Allahabad High Court, Division Bench, decided 24.2.2025) concerning a private immovable-property dispute between petitioner Ambika Prasad and private respondents (respondent side headed by State of U.P.). Holding: a writ petition is not the appropriate first-instance remedy where the dispute is private and the remedy lies elsewhere before a competent forum; petition consigned to records without dismissal wording, preserving the petitioner's ability to pursue the proper forum. Relevant to forum-selection and writ-maintainability searches.
What did the court decide?
None granted; the writ petition was consigned to records with the petitioner left free to pursue the appropriate remedy before the competent forum. ¶2
