HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW WRIT - C No. - 2852 of 2026 Gayatri Devi .....Petitioner(s) Versus State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Revenue Deptt. Lko. And 7 Others .....Respondent(s) Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Dharmendra Kumar Tiwari, Amit Bhardwaj Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C. Court No. - 3 HON'BLE JASPREET SINGH, J. HON'BLE INDRAJEET SHUKLA, J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Notice on behalf of respondent nos.1 and 2 has been accepted by the office of Chief Standing counsel. By means of the instant petition, the petitioner prays for following relief: "i. Issue writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus thereby commanding the O.P No.2 to hand over the possession to the petitioner over his land of Gata Nos.973, 962, 958, 854Ka, 844, 971, 765, 852, 854Kha, 950, 945, 940, 857, 943, 934, 935 situated at Village-Halapur, Tehsil-Jaisinghpur District-Sultanpur and also direct the O.P. No.2 take the action on the placed applications on 17.10.2025/17.12.2025 for possession as contained in Annexure No.4 and also direct the O.P. No.3-8 to stay away from the land of petitioner."

A specific query was put to the counsel for the petitioner as to whether the petitioner is in possession, to which he answered in negative. It was also put to him that on the basis of the sale deed, upon which, the petitioner is making his claim is any dispute pending to which answer is in affirmative that there is a civil suit pending before the Civil Judge, (Junior Division) Kadipur, Sultanpur relating to cancellation of sale deed and permanent injunction since, 2022. In view of the fact that the petitioner is out of possession and that a civil suit is already pending, the instant petition claiming relief as quoted above WRIC No. 2852 of 2026 2 is completely misconceived and the petition is accordingly, dismissed. After the order was passed, counsel for the petitioner submits that he may be permitted to withdraw the present petition. The petition is dismissed as withdrawn. (Indrajeet Shukla,J.)
