Holding
The petition is dismissed as infructuous.
Summary
A writ petition (Writ‑A No. 18683 of 2019) was filed by Shri Krishan against the State of U.P. and others. The petition remained pending since 2019 and the petitioner’s counsel, Ravindra Kumar, did not appear for the hearing. The case was listed under "writs likely to have become infructuous" and a notice required parties to indicate if the cause of action still survived, which was not done. The court observed that the petitioner appeared to have lost interest or that the petition had become infructuous. Consequently, the High Court dismissed the petition as infructuous.

Court No. - 52
HON'BLE MRS. MANJU RANI CHAUHAN, J.
Case is called out. None appears for the petitioner(s) to press this
petition.
It is listed in the category of "writs likely to have become infructuous
(Efflux of Time)".
A notice is also placed in the cause list mentioning that "old cases up
to the year 2022 shall be taken up in the first round itself. In case of
non-appearance, matter shall be dismissed as infructuous or
otherwise, and in the cases, where the cause of action still survives,
the concerned advocates are expected to mark them accordingly in
the cause list. Failure to do so, may result in its dismissal as
infructuous" but, neither the counsel for the petitioner(s) has
appeared nor has the case been marked to indicate that the cause of
action still survives.
The matter is pending since the year 2019. It appears that either the
petitioner(s) has/have lost interest in pursuing the matter or it has
become infructuous.
Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous.
