The petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
A public interest litigation was filed by Vijay Bharadwaj and nine others against the State of Uttar Pradesh and six other respondents. No counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioners, while the State respondents and one respondent were represented. The Court dismissed the writ petition on the ground of want of prosecution, i.e., the petitioners failed to pursue the case. Consequently, any interim relief that had been granted was also discharged. The dismissal effectively ends the petition without any substantive adjudication on the merits.
