It is contended by learned counsel for respondent Nos.2 and 3 that on the similar set of facts, one writ petition being WPMS No.3418 of 2025 had been filed by petitioner, which was disposed of 2026:UHC:1319 2 finally by Coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 10.12.2025, whereby, respondent No.2 was directed to decide the representation of petitioner within four weeks’ from passing of that order and further to ensure that no major construction shall be undertaken by respondent No.4 till the decision would be taken in the matter. Thus, he submits that second writ petition would not be maintainable for the same relief. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submits that petitioner has moved a detailed representation to respondent No.3, but till date, no action has been taken upon the said representation and the respondent No.4 is continuing with the working. 4. Be that as it may, when the order has been passed by the Coordinate Bench of this Court in the earlier writ petition, without waiting that order to be complied with, the second writ petition is not maintainable before this Court. Petitioner has got remedy to enforce the order passed by Coordinate Bench of this Court in the earlier writ petition. 5. In such view of the matter, the present writ petition is not maintainable and the same is accordingly dismissed in-limine. 6. Pending application(s), if any, stands disposed of.
