This writ petition was filed in the year 2007 and on 11.9.2007, this Court has passed the following order: "Learned Additional Solicitor general of India has accepted notice on behalf of respondent no.1, learned Standing Counsel for respondents no.3, 4, 6 and 7 and Sri B.P. Singh for respondent no.5. Issue notice to respondent no.2 fixing a date immediately after two months. All the respondents may file counter affidavit by the next date." 3. The office report indicates that petitioner has not taken steps to issue notice to opposite party no.2. Even today, no one appears on behalf of the petitioner to press this writ petition. 4. In the aforesaid circumstances, since the petitioner and his counsel remain lethargic and even no steps was taken to issue notice to respondent no.2 and otherwise also considering nature of the prayer and due to afflux of time, it is very likely that petitioners may not be interested to pursue this writ petition. 5. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. Order Date :- 18.3.2025 Mohini Digitally signed by :- MOHINI RAI High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
