Holding
The petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution.
Summary
The petitioner, Prem Chandr, filed Criminal Miscellaneous Writ Petition No. 9609 of 2024 before the Allahabad High Court seeking relief against the State and three others. The petition was listed for hearing but no counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioner, although the names of counsel (Lal Chand Jaiswal and Raj Kamal) were shown in the cause list. The learned Additional Government Advocate for the State was present. The Court observed that the petition could not be pursued due to the petitioner’s failure to prosecute the writ petition. Consequently, the Court dismissed the petition for non‑prosecution and vacated any interim order that might have been in force. The judgment was delivered by Judges Ajay Bhanot and Divesh Chandra Samant on 23 September 2026.
