State of U.P. and others) before Sudhir Agarwal, J.; petition called in revise, no appearance by petitioners or counsel; treated as apparently infructuous (cause of action no longer surviving / loss of interest); interim order, if any, vacated; decided 26.2.2020; no statutory provisions or precedent cases cited; nothing decided on merits.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition was dismissed without adjudication on merits, the Court observing that it appeared either the cause of action no longer survived, the petitioners had lost interest, or the matter had otherwise become infructuous; any interim order was directed to stand vacated. ¶¶7
