Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 15 September 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: C/M, Pratibha Shikshan Samiti & Anr.; Respondents: State of Uttar Pradesh & Others.
- Appeal filed under Special Leave Petition (C) No. 16029 of 2026, arising from High Court judgment dated 16‑12‑2025 in Special Appeal No. 309 of 2024.
- The High Court had remanded the matter back to a learned Single Judge concerning elections held in 2009, despite the committee’s term ending in 2014 and subsequent elections in 2014 and 2019.
- The Supreme Court examined whether the challenge to the 2009 election actions remained viable.
Final Outcome
- The Supreme Court set aside the High Court’s judgment and order dated 16‑12‑2025, holding the remand unnecessary as the 2009 election challenge became infructuous.
- The appeal is allowed; any pending disputes relating to later elections will be decided on their own merits.
- Interlocutory applications, if any, are disposed of.
