Court No. - 1
Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. WRIT PETITION No. - 25450 of 2018 Petitioner :- Raj Kumar @ Manphoole Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Vijay Singh Sengar Counsel for Respondent :- G.A.
Hon'ble Ramesh Sinha,J. Hon'ble Dinesh Kumar Singh-I,J.
Heard Sri V.S. Sengar, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri Prabhash Pandey, learned AGA for the State and perused the record.
The relief sought in this petition is for quashing the impugned notice dated 22.6.2018, u/s 3 U.P. Control of Goondas Act, police station Kotwali Jalaun, District Jalaun issued by Additional District Magistrate (Judicial), Jalaun at Orai-respondent no.2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has challenged the show cause notice issued by the respondent no.2 under Section 3 of U.P. Control of Goondas Act. There is manifest error in the said notice as the general nature of material allegation has not been mentioned by the respondent no.2 and only vague notice has been issued to him.
Learned AGA opposed the prayer for quashing of the impugned notice and submitted that it is always open to the petitioner to file reply to the show cause notice before competent authority.
We do not find any ground to quash the show cause notice as the writ petition against said notice is not maintainable in view of the decision of Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Executive Engineer State Housing Board v. Ramesh Kumar Singh, AIR 1996 SC 691 and Jainendra @ Chhotu Singh vs State Of Uttar Pradesh reported in 2007 (57) ACC 791.
The writ petition is accordingly dismissed.
