This petition purportedly in public interest has been filed seeking the following reliefs: i) Issue a writ of Certiorari terminating the proceeding initiated to dilute the stake of company of respondent No. 4 as same is without the mandatory compliance of Article 47(a) of the AOA, Article 94(a) of the AOA of respondent No. 4 read with Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 and without following the mandate of Section 247 of the Companies Act, 2013. ii) Issue a writ of Mandamus commanding respondents to adopt professional attitude to manage the Company of respondent No. 3 & 4 and appoint only persons having technical qualification in Board of the Company and to abolish the post of Chairman from the company of respondent No. 3 as same is against the mandate of per article 42 of the 'AOA', read with Section 104 of the Companies Act, 2013." 2. From the material, which has been placed on record, it is apparent that at this stage, by communication dated 20.03.2025, Chief Engineer has indicated that the Technical Evaluation Committee of U.P. Power Corporation Ltd. (UPPCL) has evaluated technical bids submitted by the bidders for privatization in Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd. and Purvanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd. and nothing more has been produced on record. 3. The relief claimed and the challenge laid apparently is based on assumptions. The record does not indicate that the petitioner has, at any stage, even approached the respondents seeking the documents qua the assumptions indicated in the petition. 4. In that view of the matter, at this stage, we do not find any reason to entertain the present petition. The same is, therefore, dismissed. 5. However, the petitioner is free to take appropriate proceedings in accordance with law.
