The Allahabad High Court dismissed a writ petition with ₹25,000 costs after the petitioner did not contest the State’s allegation that forged documents accompanied it.
Judge / Bench — Justices Shekhar B. Saraf and Amitabh Kumar Rai.
The 7 October 2026 order refused withdrawal intended to escape the consequences of the proceedings. It declined contempt action because the petitioner was over 70. Costs must reach the Lucknow Bench Mediation and Conciliation Centre within fifteen days, with compliance proof to the Senior Registrar; default permits recovery as land revenue.
Advocates appearing — Petitioner: Shashank Tripathi, Prakhar Upadhyay, Rishabh Yadav and Shikhar Upadhyay. State/respondents: C.S.C.; Pankaj Khare, Additional Chief Standing Counsel.
