Judgment text
Neutral Citation No. - 2024:AHC-LKO:84565 Court No. - 12 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. WRIT PETITION No. - 1004490 of 2011 Petitioner :- Ashok Kumar S/O Doodh Nath And Another Respondent :- State of U. P. Counsel for Petitioner :- Anil Kumar Tiwari,Vishwesh Pratap Singh Counsel for Respondent :- Govt. Advocate,Lakshman Singh Hon'ble Saurabh Lavania,J. 1. Case called out. No one has put in appearance on behalf of the petitioners to press this petition. However, learned AGA is present in the Court. 2. It appears that the petitioners and the counsel engaged by them have lost the interest in the case and are not interested in pursuing the petition, which is pending since 2011. 3. It would be appropriate to refer two maxims:- (i) Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt (The law assists only those who are vigilant, and not those who sleep over their rights); and (ii) Interest reipublicae ut sit finis litium (In the interest of the society as a whole, the litigation must come to an end). 4.
The above said two maxims are sister provisions, which would highlight and spotlight that the party seeking remedy before the Court should be vigilant, otherwise, the law would not come to their help and there should be end to litigation. 5. Considering the aforesaid, this Court feels that the petition should not be disposed of on merits and should be dismissed for non-prosecution. Accordingly, it is dismissed for non-prosecution. Interim order, if any, stands vacated. Order Date :- 17. 12. 2024 Arun/- Digitally signed by :- ARUN KUMAR GANGWAR High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
