C.Narendran v. Union of India
Case brief
What is this about?
Short common order of the Madras High Court dated 18.02.2026 by Justice M. Dhandapani dismissing W.M.P.Nos.6919 & 6922 of 2026 in W.P.No.6390 of 2026. Petitioners: C. Narendran and nine others; Respondents: Union of India (Ministry of Road Transport and Highways) and National Highways Authority of India officials. Reason for dismissal: prayers in the Miscellaneous Petitions were akin to the relief in the main Writ Petition and could not be granted at that stage. Counsel: L. Chandrakumar for petitioners; SU. Srinivasan for respondents. No statute or precedent discussed; suitable only for citation as an ancillary-order dismissal, not for any substantive proposition.
What did the court decide?
The prayers sought in these Miscellaneous Petitions are akin to the relief sought for in the main Writ Petition; therefore, granting relief in these Miscellaneous Petitions would amount to giving relief in the main Writ Petition, which cannot be granted.
