Disposal
Disposed off/Decided on merits

Holding

The petition is dismissed for want of prosecution due to the non‑filing of a list of cases.

Summary

Ram Prakash Srivastava filed a writ petition (WRIT‑A No. 3804 of 2005) before the Allahabad High Court seeking relief against the State of U.P. through the Secretary of Secondary Education, Lucknow, and four other respondents. The petition was presented by counsel G.C. Verma. The court noted that the petitioner had not filed a list of cases, which is a mandatory requirement for proceeding with a writ petition. No counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioner to remedy this deficiency. Consequently, the court held that the petition could not be prosecuted further. The writ petition was therefore dismissed for want of prosecution.
