Summary
The petitioners, Hira Lal and another, filed a writ petition (Writ‑C No. 17592 of 2026) before the Allahabad High Court challenging actions of the Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Government of Uttar Pradesh and others. The petition sought relief, but the petitioners later moved an application requesting that the petition be dismissed as not pressed at this stage. The learned counsel for the petitioners, Ekansh Varma, argued that the petition no longer required adjudication.
