Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:40810 Court No. - 13 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. WRIT PETITION No. - 1005652 of 2012 Petitioner :- Daya Ram Respondent :- State of U.P. and Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Jai Pal Singh Counsel for Respondent :- Govt. Advocate,Raj Mani Dubey Hon'ble Saurabh Lavania,J. 1. Case called out in revised list. No one has put in appearance on behalf of the petitioner to press this petition. However, learned counsel representing side opposite is present in the Court. 2. It appears that the petitioner and the counsel engaged by him have lost the interest in the case and are not interested in pursuing the petition, which is pending since 2012. 3. It would be appropriate to refer two maxims:- (i) Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt (The law assists only those who are vigilant, and not those who sleep over their rights); and (ii) Interest reipublicae ut sit finis litium (In the interest of the society as a whole, the litigation must come to an end). 4. The above said two maxims are sister provisions, which would highlight and spotlight that the party seeking remedy before the Court should be vigilant, otherwise, the law would not come to their help and there should be end to litigation. 5. Considering the aforesaid, this Court feels that the petition should not be disposed of on merits and should be dismissed for non-prosecution. Accordingly, it is dismissed for non- prosecution. Interim order, if any, stands vacated. Order Date :- 17.7.2025 Anand/- Digitally signed by :- ANAND KUMAR SRIVASTAVA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
