Gopi v. State of U.P. and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Dismissal for want of prosecution of a criminal revision (Gopi v. State of U.P. & Ors., Criminal Revision No. 357 of 2017, Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench, Rajnish Kumar, J., order dated 28.7.2025, Neutral Citation 2025:AHC-LKO:43498); repeated non-appearance of revisionist; interim order dated 06.04.2017 vacated on 11.05.2022; case listed under 'For Referral to the Special Mediation Drive-Mediation for the Nation'; direction to office to communicate order to court concerned within three weeks; no statute or precedent discussed; no substantive issue decided.
What did the court decide?
Since the revisionist had repeatedly failed to appear and the interim order granted on 06.04.2017 already stood vacated on 11.05.2022, the Court inferred that either the proceedings stood disposed of or the revisionist was not interested in pursuing the matter, and dismissed the revision for want of prosecution.
