HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW TRANSFER APPLICATION (CRIMINAL) No. - 11 of 2024 Court No. - 13 HON'BLE SAURABH LAVANIA, J. 1. Case called out in revised list. No one has put in appearance on behalf of the applicant to press this application. 2. It appears that the applicant and the counsel engaged by her have lost the interest in the case and are not interested in pursuing the application, which is pending since 2024. 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 application 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. October 16, 2025 Arun/- Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Krishna Gopal, Arun Kumar Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A., Manjusha Kapil (Saurabh Lavania,J.)
