Of Home Lko And 4 Others .....Respondent(s) 4. Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of Mandamus directing the State to ensure proper medical treatment, compensation, and psychological rehabilitation of all injured students." 3. The allegation in the writ petition is of police brutality in beating up law students studying in the Shree Ramswaroop Memorial University, District Barabanki. The law students, who are alleged to have been beaten up, have not come to Court. As regards relief nos.1 and 2, the aggrieved persons can approach the Court or seek such other remedies as may be permissible under law. So far as relief no.3 is concerned, another writ petition in the nature of Public Interest Litigation bearing WPIL No.958 of 2025 has been filed wherein an order has been passed on September 11, 2025. After taking into consideration the order of the Bar Council of India dated 03.09.2025, according to which the provisional approval granted to the University earlier has been extended for a period of one year, that is 2025-26 with regularization of admission during the academic period 2023-24 and 2024-25, subject to compliance of certain Rules and Regulations, and that the said Public Interest Litigation (PIL No.958 of 2025) is already pending on the subject, we see no reason to entertain another Public Interest Litigation for the same cause. As regards relief no.4, on being asked it is informed that the injured students have already been admitted in the King George's Medical University (KGMU), where obviously appropriate medical treatment would be meted out by the hospital authorities and doctors, but the King George's Medical University (KGMU) has not even been impleaded as an opposite party in this petition so as to facilitate any direction. It is also informed that some FIR was lodged by the State authorities against the private University, which was put to challenge before this Court and some interim orders have been passed therein, copy thereof is not available as of now. 4. For all the above reasons, we see no reason to entertain this Public Interest Litigation. This order, however, should not be understood as condoning any illegal act of any of the opposite parties or the private University nor will it affect any other proceeding which may be pending or may be initiated herein-after in respect to the aforesaid subject matter, as per law. WPIL No. 949 of 2025 2 5. The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. September 12, 2025 Arnima WPIL No. 949 of 2025 3 (Manjive Shukla,J.) (Rajan Roy,J.)
