Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:114116 Court No. - 34 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 22348 of 2025 Petitioner :- Lal Ji Patel Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 5 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Rajeev Kumar Ojha Counsel for Respondent :- Bhupendra Kumar Tripathi,C.S.C. Hon'ble Rohit Ranjan Agarwal,J. This writ petition has been filed with the following prayer:- "(a) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus, commanding and directing the respondents authorities to evict the Respondent No.6 from the land-in-question as per the order dated 31.01.2024 passed by the Respondent No.4 within stipulated time period." From perusal of the prayer made in the writ petition, it is clear that the petitioner has filed writ petition seeking relief against private respondent no.6. No writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is maintainable, as private person is not the instrumentality of the State as defined under Article 12 of the Constitution of India. Writ petition is misconceived and stands dismissed.
