The instant Writ Petition has been filed seeking following main relief:- "i. To issue a writ order of direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the opposite party No.2 and 3 to issue the character certificate in the favour of petitioner." The application of the petitioner for issuance of caste certificate has been rejected only on the ground of pendency of a criminal case bearing F.I.R. No.239/2024 registered at Police Station Hargaon, District Sitapur, however, learned Standing Counsel accepts the fact that during course of investigation, name of the petitioner was dropped and no charge sheet was filed, therefore, now there appears to be no impediment in issuance of character certificate, however, the same would now be issued in terms of what has been stated by us in our order dated 28.05.2025 passed today in a bunch of writ petitions, wherein leading writ petition is Writ C No.718 of 2025 (Anil Kumar Vs. State of U.P. and 3 Others), i.e. on the format mentioned therein and on the same terms. The Writ Petition stands disposed of. (Om Prakash Shukla,J.) (Rajan Roy,J.)
