CHANDRA AND ANOTHERversusD.D.C. AND OTHERS

Decided

Holding

The petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.

Summary

The petitioners, Chandra and another, filed a writ petition in the Allahabad High Court but failed to appear or engage counsel. The court noted that a notice dated 17 March 2026 was duly served on the petitioners to appoint new counsel. Since no representation was made, the petition could not be prosecuted. Consequently, the court dismissed the petition for want of prosecution. Any interim relief previously granted was vacated. No substantive merits of the petition were considered.

Subjects
