No petitioner or his counsel appeared to prosecute the petition, while counsel for the State of Uttar Pradesh was present. The Court noted the absence of the petitioner and, after hearing the State, dismissed the writ petition for want of prosecution. Consequently, any interim order that had been granted was vacated. The matter was then consigned to the records.
