Allahabad High Court

MOHAMMAD YAMIN AND OTHERSversusSTATE OF U.P. AND ANOTHER

Decided

Holding

The writ petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.

Summary

The petitioners, Mohammad Yamin and others, filed a writ petition before the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad. The petitioners failed to appear even after a revised call was issued. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition on the ground of want of prosecution. The Court, however, granted the petitioners liberty to file a restoration application within one month if they so desire. No substantive merits of the petition were considered, and the dismissal stands unless a restoration application is filed.
