Pradeep Kumar Tripathi .....Petitioner(s) State Of U.P. And 3 Others .....Respondent(s) 5. Learned counsel for the writ petitioner has submitted that the order impugned cannot be sustained for the simple reason that it does not take into account the law of the land, particularly, when the matter stands crystallized recently in the Special Appeal No. 172 of 2023 (State of U.P. and others v. Ram Jeet Tiwari and others) on 19.04.2023 against which the Special Leave to Appeal No. 15968 of 2023 which came to be dismissed.
