Pran Nath Tiwari v. State of U.P. and Others
Case brief
What is this about?
Non-prosecution dismissal of a 2005 U.P. writ petition (WRIT - A No. 20562 of 2005) by Sudhir Agarwal, J. on 22.1.2020; called in revise, petitioner and counsel absent, dismissed as apparently infructuous with vacation of interim order, if any; no merits adjudicated, no statute or precedent cited; minimal citation value except as an instance of dismissal for want of prosecution/infructuousness.
What did the court decide?
The Court observed that the cause of action appears to no longer survive, or the petitioner has lost interest, or the petition has otherwise become infructuous, which is why no one sought a decision on merits and counsel for the petitioner was absent. ¶¶6
