Decided: 7 April 2026
Disposal: Dismissed on merits
Bench: SAURABH SHYAM SHAMSHERY

Holding

The Court held that the cause of action did not survive (or the petitioner had lost interest), and consequently dismissed the writ petition.

Summary

Gyan Singh filed Writ‑A No. 36522 of 2011 before the Allahabad High Court challenging the actions of the Registrar of Co‑Operative Societies, Lucknow and other respondents. The petitioner’s counsel did not appear, while the State respondents were represented by standing counsel and counsel for respondents‑2 and‑4. The Court observed that the petition either lacked a surviving cause of action or the petitioner had lost interest in pursuing the matter. Consequently, the writ petition could not be entertained. The Court therefore dismissed the petition and discharged any interim relief that had been ordered. The order was dated 5 December 2022.
