Holding
The writ petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
The petitioner, Sukhai, filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court. The court had previously deferred the matter on 21 April 2026 because the petitioner had not filed a vakalatnama and the undelivered cover was not returned. On the date of hearing, no representative of the petitioner appeared to press the petition. Consequently, the court dismissed the writ petition for want of prosecution, noting that the petitioner may file an application with an affidavit to seek recall of the order. The dismissal was ordered on 12 May 2026.

HON'BLE SIDDHARTH NANDAN, J.
1. This Court, vide its order dated 21.04.2026, had deferred the matter,
though the office has submitted its report on 20.04.2026 that neither
vakalatnama has been filed nor undelivered cover received back.
2. Today when the matter is being taken up, again no one has appeared for
the petitioner to press the writ petition.
3. In view of the aforesaid, the Court is left with no other alternative but
to dismiss the writ petition for want of prosecution.
4. Accordingly, the present writ petition is dismissed for want of
prosecution.
5. However, in case an application supported by an affidavit of the
petitioner is filed seeking recall of the aforesaid order, the same shall be
considered accordingly.
