Allahabad High Court
MOINUDDIN AND 2 OTHERSversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 2 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The petition is dismissed for non‑compliance with the Court's interim order.
Summary
The petitioners filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition seeking relief, and the Court had earlier issued an interim order directing them to deposit a specified amount to explore settlement through the Mediation and Conciliation Centre. The petitioners failed to comply with this deposit order. No response was filed on behalf of the petitioners. The Court noted the non‑compliance and, applying the principle that a party must obey interim orders, dismissed the petition. The dismissal was based solely on the petitioners' failure to follow the Court's directive, without addressing any substantive merits of the case.
Issues considered
- Whether a writ petition can be dismissed for failure to comply with an interim order directing deposit of money for mediation.
