Holding
The petition was dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
A criminal miscellaneous writ petition (No. 10770 of 2026) was listed before the Allahabad High Court. The petitioner's counsel, Ravi Shankar Mishra, was duly notified in the cause list but failed to appear, and no other representative appeared on the petitioner's behalf. The respondents, represented by the Additional Government Advocate, were present. The Court, noting the absence of any petitioner representation even after a revised call, dismissed the petition for want of prosecution. Consequently, any interim relief previously granted was ordered to stand vacated.

- Whether a writ petition may be dismissed for want of prosecution when the petitioner or his counsel fails to appear despite being listed in the cause list.
