Allahabad High Court

JAMILversusD.D.C AND OTHERS

Decided: 22 April 2026
Bench: CHANDRA KUMAR RAI

Holding

The petition was dismissed for want of prosecution, and the interim order was vacated.

Summary

A writ petition (Writ B No. 14069 of 1982) was listed for priority hearing before the Allahabad High Court. No petitioner appeared before the court, and only counsel for the private respondents and the State respondents were present. The court noted the absence of the petitioner and, after hearing the respondents' counsel, dismissed the petition for want of prosecution. Consequently, the interim order dated 26 April 1983 was vacated. The dismissal reflects the court's procedural stance that a petition cannot proceed without the petitioner’s presence or active prosecution.
