Holding
The writ petition is dismissed as infructuous.
Summary
The petitioner, Meetoo Ram, filed a writ petition (Writ‑A No. 19585 of 2019) before the Allahabad High Court. No counsel appeared for the petitioner on the scheduled date, and the petition was not marked to indicate that the cause of action still survived. The court noted that the matter had been pending since 2019 and fell under the category of writs likely to have become infructuous due to the efflux of time. Consequently, the court held that the petitioner had either lost interest or the petition had become moot. The writ petition was therefore dismissed as infructuous.

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.
(Mrs. Manju Rani Chauhan,J.)
