Holding
The writ petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
The petitioner, Vaibhav Saharawat, filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court. The last order dated 15 May 2025 listed the case among the top‑10 and named Shri Ashutosh Tiwari as counsel for the respondents. The court later received a report on 4 June 2025 indicating that Ashutosh Tiwari’s advocate roll number was missing, preventing his name from being entered in the computer status. No petitioner appeared to press the petition thereafter. Consequently, the court dismissed the writ petition for want of prosecution.
Issues considered
