Smt Nirmala and Another v. State of Up and 4 Others
Case brief
What is this about?
Writ-C No. 8963 of 2024, High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Court No. 76, Justice Vinod Diwakar, order dated 6.3.2025 (Neutral Citation 2025:AHC:32925). Writ petition by Smt Nirmala and another against State of UP and 4 others, filed out of apprehension of a threat to the petitioners' life and property from their respective parents. Dismissed for want of prosecution: petitioners failed to appear even upon the revised call, and the apprehension had lapsed with the passage of time, making the relief infructuous. Liberty reserved to seek recall of the order if any cause of action still subsists. No statutes or precedents cited; no quantum involved.
What did the court decide?
The petitioners' apprehension of a threat to life no longer exists due to the passage of time; consequently the relief claimed in the petition has become infructuous and the writ petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.
