Holding
The writ petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
The petitioners Jangali @ Bhakudi and three others filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition before the Allahabad High Court. Their counsel, Sant Ram Nigam, Nitin Dwivedi, Rama Kant Yadav and Vivek Kumar Yadav, were listed in the cause list but failed to appear at the hearing, even after a revised call. The State of U.P. and three others, represented by the learned Additional Government Advocate, were present. The Court observed that no one was present to press the petition on behalf of the petitioners and therefore dismissed the writ petition for want of prosecution. Consequently, any interim order previously granted was vacated.
