Holding
The bail cancellation application was dismissed for want of prosecution due to the absence of counsel for the petitioner.
Summary
The petitioner, Prachi Rathore (alias Siya Rathore), filed a bail cancellation application (No. 487 of 2025) before the Allahabad High Court. The application was listed for hearing, but no counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioner to press the matter. The learned judge noted the absence of representation and consequently dismissed the application for want of prosecution. The State's brief holder, Sri Anupam Anand, was present in the courtroom. No substantive arguments on the merits of the bail cancellation were entertained. The dismissal was purely procedural, reflecting the court's requirement that an application must be actively pursued by counsel. The order was signed by Justice Vivek Varma on October 1, 2026.
