HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD WRIT - A No. - 40453 of 2009 Court No. - 52 HON'BLE MRS. MANJU RANI CHAUHAN, J. Case is called out. None appears for the petitioner(s). Learned Counsel for the State is present. Record goes to show that the case is listed in the category of oldest pending cases in the cause list, 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(s) has/have appeared nor has the case been marked to indicate that the cause of action still survives. This matter is pending since the year 2009. It appears that either the petitioner(s) has/have lost interest in pursuing the matter or it has become infructuous. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. October 8, 2026 Rahul. Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Narendra Mohan, R.
