    Summary: The Calcutta High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Shyamali Das Sukul, who sought directions to record her name as nominee in her retired IPS officer husband's service records. The court held it lacked jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution because the matter involved a Central Government employee, which falls outside the High Court's purview as a court of first instance. The petitioner was directed to approach the competent forum for relief. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
