Holding
The petition is dismissed for want of prosecution due to the absence of any petitioner or counsel to press the writ.
Summary
The petitioners, Ram Milan Vishwakarma and three others, filed Criminal Miscellaneous Writ Petition No. 5541 of 2026 before the Allahabad High Court. Their counsel, Amresh Kumar and Shashi Ranjan Srivastava, were listed in the cause list but failed to appear to press the petition. The respondents, the State of U.P. and others, were represented by counsel who appeared before the court. Since no representative of the petitioners was present even after a revised call, the court dismissed the petition for want of prosecution. Consequently, any interim orders previously granted were vacated.
