Allahabad High Court
NIVAS ALI AND ANOTHERversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 4 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The court held that no cause of action survived, leading to the dismissal of the writ petition.
Summary
The petitioners, Nivas Ali and another, filed a writ petition (C No. 34330 of 2014) before the Allahabad High Court seeking relief. The matter was listed under the "Oldest Pending Cases" priority hearing, but the petitioners failed to appear even after a revised call. The State respondents, represented by the Standing Counsel, appeared before the court. Upon reviewing the record, the bench observed that no cause of action remained viable and therefore ordered the petition to be consigned to the record. The writ petition was consequently disposed, with liberty granted to the petitioners to file an application for recall or modification of the order if they believe a cause of action still exists.
