Summary

No counsel appeared for the petitioner, and an office report dated 17‑04‑2026 confirmed that a notice was duly served on the petitioner to engage another counsel. Since the petitioner failed to prosecute the petition, the Court dismissed the petition for want of prosecution. Consequently, any interim order that may have been in force was vacated. The dismissal was pronounced by Justice Yogendra Kumar Srivastava on 20‑April‑2026.
