Holding
The application is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
On 21 April 2026 the Allahabad High Court listed an application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code filed by Rajesh Mishra and two others against the State of Uttar Pradesh. The court issued an interim order and directed the matter to be listed in ordinary course. When the case was taken up on the revised list, no counsel appeared on behalf of the applicants to press the application. Consequently, the court dismissed the application for want of prosecution, directing the lower court to be informed of the order. The dismissal reflects the court’s procedural discretion to reject a pending application that is not pursued by the parties.
