Holding
The writ petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
The petitioners, Ram Dhani and others, filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court. The court earlier ordered the petitioners to engage new counsel on 08-09-2017. A notice was subsequently issued, and an N.E.C. (non-emptied cover) was sent on 05-08-2022, but no acknowledgment or response was received. No counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioners to pursue the petition. Consequently, the court dismissed the writ petition for want of prosecution and vacated any interim orders that may have been in force.
