Writ Petition No. 1245 of 2026, High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench (Rajnish Kumar, J. and Zafeer Ahmad, J.), decided 23 February 2026: writ petition by Amardeep Yadav seeking mandamus for registration of FIR against opposite parties nos. 4 and 5 and fair investigation DISMISSED as misconceived; petitioner held to have alternative statutory remedy before the Magistrate under Section 173(4) BNSS (Division Bench case Waseem Haider versus State of U.P. and others); earlier proceedings under Section 170/126/135 BNSS recorded in GD No.41 at 13:51 on 13.12.2025; factual disputes not adjudicable under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
What did the court decide?
The petition is misconceived and lacks merit because the petitioner has an alternative and statutory remedy (before the Magistrate under Section 173(4) BNSS) and factual disputes cannot be adjudicated by this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India; the petition is accordingly dismissed.
