Holding
The revision petition is dismissed for want of prosecution due to the petitioner's failure to appear.
Summary
The revision petition filed by Suresh Sharma against the State of U.P. and others was scheduled for admission, but the petitioner failed to appear on the appointed dates of 10-02-2026 and 09-04-2026, and again on the hearing day. The opposite party counsel highlighted the petitioner's consistent non-appearance and lack of prosecution. The court noted that the revisionist had not engaged the proceedings despite adjournments being granted at their request. Consequently, the court held that the revision could not proceed without prosecution. The revision was therefore dismissed for want of prosecution.
