HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD WRIT - C No. - 32671 of 2025 Court No. - 6 HON'BLE PRAKASH PADIA, J. 1. The petitioner has preferred the present petition against the orders dated 19.08.2025 and 22.08.2025 passed by the respondent no. 5/Authorized Signatory/General Manager (Administration), Dainik Jagran, Kanpur. 2. Learned Standing Counsel submits that if the petitioner is aggrieved against private individuals then the proper course open for him is to apply for common law remedy. 3. From perusal of the record, it is clear that the petitioner wants relief against the private individuals which cannot be granted under writ jurisdiction. Law in this connection is well settled that writ of certiorari cannot be issued against the private individuals and the appropriate remedy lies under the common law. 4. In this view of the matter, the present petition is dismissed with the liberty to avail the common law remedy, if so advised. (Prakash Padia,J.)
