Shri Rahul Shukla, the learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel has raised a preliminary objection that the petitioners have filed a Regular Suit No.464 of 2025 in the Court of Civil Judge (S.D.), Court No.10, Raebareli with the same purpose. He has said that when the petitioners are already availing the remedy of regular suit challenging the recovery proceedings, the writ petition filed for the same purpose is not maintainable. 4. In response to the aforesaid preliminary objection, the learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that when the suit was filed, the personal land of the petitioners had not been attached and this petition has been filed after attachment of the personal land of the petitioner.

Rajeshwari Meenu Singh And Another .....Petitioner(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Distt. Magistrate Raebareli And 6 Others .....Respondent(s) 5. When the recovery is under challenge in a suit filed by petitioners, in case any subsequent development gives rise to some fresh or additional grievance of the petitioners, it will always be open to the petitioners to amend the suit so as to include the prayer for redressal of additional or new grievance also but filing of a writ petition during pendency of civil suit is not justified. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed leaving it open to the petitioners to raise their grievance before the civil court concerned itself.
