Holding
The petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary

The petition was listed for hearing on several dates (19 September 2025, 26 February 2026, and 9 July 2026) but the petitioner failed to appear on any of these occasions. The respondent, the State of Uttar Pradesh and others, were represented by counsel, and the learned Additional Government Advocate was present. The Court noted the petitioner’s non‑appearance and lack of prosecution of the petition. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition for want of prosecution, without addressing any substantive merits.
