Holding
The writ petition was dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
Vishwanath Patel filed a writ petition (WRIT‑A No. 4665 of 2011) against the State of Uttar Pradesh and others. The petitioner’s counsel submitted an illness slip, but the court had repeatedly ordered that the case should not be further adjourned. Since the petition, originally filed in 2011, remained inactive despite the warning, the court dismissed the writ petition for want of prosecution. The dismissal was recorded on 13 October 2022 by Justice Rajnish Kumar. No substantive merits of the petition were addressed as the case was closed on procedural grounds.
