Misra,Rajeev Misra Counsel for Respondent :- A.K. Misra,Awadhesh Tiwari,G.P. Tripathi,V.K.Mishra Hon'ble Mrs. Manju Rani Chauhan,J. Case is called out. None appears for the petitioner. Learned Standing Counsel for the State is present. Record shows that the case is listed in the category of oldest pending cases in this High Court, 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. This matter is pending since 1982. It appears that either the petitioner has lost interest in pursuing the matter or it has become infructuous. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed as infructuous.
