Union of India & Ors. (supra) and Rameshwar Chaudhary v. State of U.P. & Ors. (supra). 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of." Above paragraphs do not contain a direction. 5. Perused the petition. We have not been able to find a present cause urged on an assertion of a right having been violated. A similar case had come before us in Writ C No.-15434 of 2025 (Rambali and 20 others vs. State of U.P. and 4 others), disposed of by us on order dated 16th May, 2025. Reproduced below is paragraphs 5 and 7 from said order. "5. Article 226 in the Constitution of India requires petitioners to have a cause of action. Petitioners say they want to be made aware of their forest rights. The petition does not disclose a grievance, of some right violated. For purpose of obtaining recognition and vesting of rights under the Act, a claim must be made. The petition also does not disclose that such claim was made to a or several Gram Sabhas, for purpose of reference to the committee to initiate process of recognition of rights under rule 12-A. ......... 7. Petitioners have made said representation dated 20th April, 2024, incorrectly stated in paragraph 12 as dated 24th March, 2025. The application was addressed to respondent no. 4. In event, petitioners find some right has been violated, they are to demand for justice, failing which move this Court." Same observations and directions are made in this writ petition. 6. The writ petition is disposed of. Order Date :- 20.5.2025 Mohini (Arindam Sinha, J.) (Avnish Saxena, J.) Digitally signed by :- MOHINI RAI High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
