HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD WRIT - A No. - 50340 of 2016 Court No. - 52 HON'BLE MRS. MANJU RANI CHAUHAN, J. Case is called out. None appears for the parties. The case is listed in the category of oldest pending cases in the cause list, for priority hearing. A notice has been placed on the notice board specifically, mentioning that "old cases up to the year 2022 shall be taken up in the first round itself. In case of non-appearance, matter shall be dismissed as infructuous or otherwise, and in the cases, where the cause of action still survives, the concerned advocates are expected to mark them accordingly in the cause list. Failure to do so, may result in its dismissal as infructuous" but, neither the counsel for the petitioner has appeared nor has the case been marked to indicate that the cause of action still survives. Record shows that the matter is pending since the year 2016. It appears that either the petitioner has lost interest in pursuing the matter or it has become infructuous. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. Needless to say that the petitioner shall be at liberty to file recall/restoration application in case any cause of action still survives.
