Heard Ms. Neetu Singh, Advocate for the petitioner and Mr. Vinay Kumar, Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand. 2. The petitioner has filed this writ petition challenging the order dated 25.7.2008 (Annexure-1 to the writ petition) passed by respondent no. 1, whereby an application moved by the petitioner under Section 25 of the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 was dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
