Allahabad High Court

RAJUDEEN @ RAJU AND 2 OTHERSversusSTATE OF UTTAR PRADESH AND 2 OTHERS

Decided

Holding

The Court dismissed the writ petition for want of prosecution and discharged the interim order.

Summary

The petitioners filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition in the Allahabad High Court. The Court had earlier ordered them to deposit Rs 20,000 with the Mediation Centre, but they failed to comply. Despite this non‑compliance, the petitioners continued to enjoy the benefits of an interim order. The Court examined the mediation report and, noting the failure to deposit the required sum, declined to extend the interim relief. Consequently, the writ petition was dismissed for want of prosecution and the interim order was discharged.

Issues considered

  • Whether the interim order should be extended when the petitioners have not complied with the Court’s order to deposit the prescribed sum with the Mediation Centre?
  • Whether the writ petition can be dismissed for want of prosecution due to the petitioners’ non‑appearance and non‑compliance?

                                                       HON'BLE CHANDRA DHARI SINGH, J.
                                                       HON'BLE TARUN SAXENA, J.

                                    1. List has been revised.

                                    2. None appeared on behalf of the petitioners even in the revised call
                                    whereas learned AGA appearing for the State-respondents is present.

                                    3. We have perused the report dated 24.07.2025 submitted by the
                                    Mediation & Conciliation of the High Court, Allahabad.

                                    4. As per the report dated 24.07.2025, the petitioners have not complied
                                    with the order dated 03.06.2025 by which they were directed to deposit a
                                    sum of Rs.20,000/- with the Mediation Centre of this Court. However, on
                                    the pretext of matter being referred to the Mediation Centre, they have
                                    been enjoying the interim order. Therefore, we are not inclined to extend
                                    the interim order any further.

                                    5. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.

                                    6. Interim order, if any, stands discharged.



                                                                  (Tarun Saxena,J.) (Chandra Dhari Singh,J.)
