UDAIVEER Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) WE have heard learned counsel for the petitioners, Shri W.H. Khan and Shri Rajendra Kumar Mishra, learned counsel appearing for U.P. Power Corporation Limited, Shri V.S. Mishra, learned Government Advocate assisted by Shri A.K. Sand, learned Additional Government Advocate.

(2.) SINCE all the above-mentioned writ petitions involve the same questions of fact and law, they have been heard together and are being disposed of by this common interim order. However, for convenience we are taking up writ petitions No. 15622 of 2006 (Udai Veer Vs. State of U.P. and others), 15687 of 2006 (Ram Chandra Mishra Vs. State of U.P. and others) and 1190 of 2007 (Parasu Ram Pandey Vs. State of U.P. and others) as leading cases in which counter affidavits have been filed by the U.P. Power Corporation Limited or the State.

(3.) TO our dismay although the said judgement was delivered 5 months ago, we find that neither the police, nor the electricity department/ power corporation has taken any steps in furtherance of the said decision for obtaining permission from the competent Court for investigating cases against the accused, in blatant violation of the mandate of the earlier Division Bench to obtain the said permission within one month of the order.
