Holding
The petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
The writ petition (Writ C No. 35096 of 2010) was filed by Kabristan Dhake Wala Thru Secretary Village and another against the State of U.P. and others. The petition remained pending for several years and, by the date of hearing in 2026, no counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioner. The respondents' counsel and the State's standing counsel were present. The court observed that the matter had become infructuous due to the lapse of time and the petitioner's apparent lack of interest in pursuing the writ. Consequently, the court dismissed the petition for want of prosecution, and any interim orders, if any, were discharged.

List is being revised. Nobody is present on behalf of the petitioner whereas Sri
V.K.Rai, learned counsel for respondent no. 4 as well as learned Standing Counsel Sri
Anubhav Chandra, representing State respondent are present.
The matter is of the year 2010. It appears that either matter has rendered infructuous
due to efflux of time or the petitioner is no more interesting in pursuing the writ
petition.
However, since petitioner is not present, we are dismissing the present petition for
want of prosecution.
Interim order, if any, stands discharged.
