Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:86912 Court No. - 4 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 7203 of 2025 Petitioner :- Shiv Datt Joshi Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Ajai Kumar,Vivek Singh Yadav Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Ajit Kumar,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Standing Counsel. By means of this petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution, petitioner has questioned the order of punishment as passed by the disciplinary authority as well as appellate authority. Learned Standing Counsel has raised preliminary objection as to the maintainability of this petition on the ground of alternative remedy of revision under the U.P. Police Officers of Subordinate Rank (Punishment and Appeal) Rules, 1991.
Learned counsel for the petitioner does not dispute the above. In view of the above, I decline to grant indulgence in the matter at this stage. This petition accordingly stands disposed of with a direction that in the event petitioner prefers a revision before the competent authority within a period of four weeks from today, the said competent authority shall dispose of the revision within a further period of two months. Needless to add the order to be passed by the competent authority, as directed herein above, shall be reasoned and speaking one.
