Holding
The revision is dismissed for want of prosecution due to the revisionist's failure to appear.
Summary
In Criminal Revision No. 4416 of 2024, Dinesh filed a revision against the State of U.P. and another party. The revisionist's counsel, Balbir Singh and Shailendra Singh, failed to appear at the scheduled hearing on 08.04.2026 and again on the subsequent date. The opposite party, represented by G.A. and Ran Jeet Singh, highlighted this consistent non‑appearance. The court examined the record and noted that the revisionist had not shown any intention to contest the matter. Consequently, the court dismissed the revision for want of prosecution, indicating that a petition cannot proceed without the petitioner’s participation.

- Whether a criminal revision can be entertained when the revisionist fails to appear before the court?
