Sri Tejasvi Misra, learned Counsel for GDA at the outset raises a preliminary objection qua the maintainability of the writ petition on the ground of alternative efficacious relief. He submits that U.P. Urban Planning and Development (Assessment, Levy and Collection of Mutation Charges) Rules, 2022 (in short 'Rules 2022') have been framed in exercise of power under Clause-(c) of Sub-Section 55 read with Sub- Section 2-A of Section 15 of the U.P. Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973 which provides an exhaustive procedure for mutation of names on the properties situated in the region. He further submits that as per Rule-6 of Rules 2022 the applicant can apply online through "janhit.upda.in" website by creating his profile on the same. Moreover in case the petitioner moves an appropriate application, before the competent authority as per the rules, definitely, the same would be decided in accordance with law. 4. Considering the factual situation, we are not inclined to keep the matter pending for consideration. However it is always open to the petitioner that in case he moves an application under Rules, 2022 along with the requisite fee, we hope and trust that the same would be considered and decided in accordance with law expeditiously but certainly after giving ample opportunity to all the stake holders in the matter. 5. With the above observations and the writ petition is disposed of. September 17, 2025 Ashish Pd. WRIC No. 31413 of 2025 2 (Anish Kumar Gupta,J.) (Mahesh Chandra Tripathi,J.)
