Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:42981 Court No. - 13 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. WRIT PETITION No. - 26744 of 2021 Petitioner :- Chandra Shekhar Yadav Respondent :- State Of U.P. Thru. Secy. Home Lko.And Ors. Counsel for Petitioner :- O.P. Tiwari Counsel for Respondent :- G.A. Hon'ble Saurabh Lavania,J.
1. Case called out. None present for the petitioner to press the writ petition. However, learned A.G.A. for the State/respondents is present.
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 writ petition which is pending since 2021.
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 writ petition should not be disposed of on merits and should be dismissed for non-prosecution. Accordingly, it is dismissed for non-prosecution.
6. Interim order, if any, stands vacated. Order Date :- 25.7.2025 ML/- Digitally signed by :- MUNNA LAL High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
