Summary
Petitioner Hazi Mukhtar Wasim filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court challenging an order of the District Magistrate, Bareilly. The petition remained pending for an extended period, and the court observed that, due to the passage of time, the petition had become infructuous. No substantive hearing on the merits was conducted. Consequently, the court dismissed the writ petition on the ground that it was no longer maintainable. The interim order previously granted was vacated, and the parties were permitted to move an application for recall if any issue still survived.
