Allahabad High Court
SMT. RUKMANI AND 4 OTHERSversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 2 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The petition is dismissed because the petitioners failed to comply with the Court’s interim order.
Summary
Smt. Rukmani and four others filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition before the Allahabad High Court seeking relief against the State of U.P. and two others. The Court had earlier issued an interim order directing the petitioners to deposit a specified amount to enable settlement negotiations at the Mediation and Conciliation Centre. The petitioners did not comply with this order, and no response was filed by the respondents. The Court observed that non‑compliance with a clear interim direction defeats the purpose of the proceedings. Consequently, the Court dismissed the petition for failure to obey its order.
Issues considered
- Whether the petition should be dismissed for the petitioners' non‑compliance with the Court's interim order to deposit the prescribed amount.
