Decided: 28 January 2026
Disposal: Dismissed on merits/Rejected
Bench: JASPREET SINGH

Holding

The review petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.

Summary

The petitioners, Addya Prasad Pandey and others, filed a civil miscellaneous review application (No. 184 of 2021) before the Allahabad High Court. The petition was filed in 2021 but the hearing took place on December 1, 2025. No counsel or party appeared on the day of hearing, and no engagement, adjournment, or out‑of‑station slip was filed. The court noted that the order under review had been passed in the presence of counsel named in a prior order dated 25 November 2025. Because the petitioners failed to appear and prosecute the review, the court dismissed the petition for want of prosecution and consigned it to the records.
