Holding
The writ petition was dismissed for want of prosecution due to the petitioner's non-appearance.
Summary
The petitioners filed a writ petition (Writ-A No. 18667 of 2018) before the Allahabad High Court seeking relief against the State of U.P. through the Principal Secretary, Basic Education, Lucknow. No petitioner appeared before the court to pursue the petition, although counsel for the State was present. The court noted the absence of the petitioners and observed that the petition could not be prosecuted further. Consequently, the writ petition was dismissed for want of prosecution. The interim order, if any, that had been granted earlier was vacated. The matter was consigned to the records.
