Upon due consideration of the submissions made and the material on record, there is nothing to suggest that the petitioners are under any coercion, undue influence, or illegal confinement. Further, no specific or credible apprehension has been shown regarding any threat to their life, liberty, or property. 6. In light of the above, this Court is of the considered opinion that no case is made out for exercising the extraordinary writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 7. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. Order Date :- 28.2.2025 Anil K. Sharma Vinod Diwakar, J. Digitally signed by :- ANIL KUMAR SHARMA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
