Holding
The application under Section 482 is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
Mukesh Yadav filed an application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code (No.13805 of 2019) seeking relief against the State of Uttar Pradesh. The application remained pending for several years without any appearance or submission from the applicant’s counsel, although the State’s Additional Government Advocate was present. The court observed that the applicant appeared to have lost interest in pursuing the matter and that continuing the application would serve no useful purpose. Consequently, the High Court dismissed the application for want of prosecution and vacated any interim order that had been in force. The order directed that a copy be sent to the concerned trial court forthwith.
