HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD WRIT - C No. - 18571 of 2026 Court No. - 38 HON'BLE SIDDHARTH NANDAN, J. 1. Heard Sri Prabhakar Awasthi, learned Senior Counsel assisted by Sri Ritika Dwivedi, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri Ghanshyam Dubey, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent no. 3 and learned Standing Counsel for the State. 2. A preliminary objection has been raised on behalf of the respondents that against the order cancelling the registration of the society, a statutory appeal is provided under Section 12-D(2) of the Societies Registration Act, 1860 and, therefore, the present petition is not maintainable. 3. Learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner submits that the impugned order has been passed wholly without jurisdiction inasmuch as there was no application seeking cancellation of registration of petitioner's society. He has further submitted that an application was moved relating to cancellation of registration of respondent no. 3. Further, neither any grounds contemplated under Section 12-D(1) of the Act, 1860 were attracted nor any finding, to that effect has been recorded by the authority concerned. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the submissions advanced across the Bar, this Court finds that adjudication of the controversy would require appreciation of factual aspects of the matter. Since a statutory alternative remedy of appeal is available under Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Manish Tiwari, Saurabh Tripathi, Sr. Advocate Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C. Committee Of Management Shiv Parvati And Another .....Petitioner(s) State Of U.P. And 2 Others .....Respondent(s) Section 12-D(2) of the Act, 1860, this Court is not inclined to entertain the present petition. 5. Accordingly, the petition stands dismissed on the ground of availability of alternative remedy. However, it shall be open for the petitioner to approach the appellate authority concerned for redressal of his grievance. 6. In case such an appeal is filed within a period of one week from today, it shall be open for the petitioner to seek condonation of delay by taking recourse to Section 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963, and the same shall be considered in accordance with law.
