Holding
The application is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
The petitioners Pramod and two others filed an application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code (No. 3706 of 2019) against the State of Uttar Pradesh and another party. The matter was listed but no counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioners, while the State’s counsel was present. The court observed that the petitioners appeared to have lost interest in pursuing the case and that continuing the application would serve no useful purpose. Consequently, the 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 immediately.
