Giasuddin Mandal v. State of West Bengal & Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Dismissal for default / non-prosecution of a 2011 writ petition (WPA); non-appearance of parties despite second call; no merits decided, no reliefs granted, no quantum involved. Useful only as an example of default dismissal practice, not as a precedent on any substantive issue.
What did the court decide?
As none appeared for the parties even after the second call and there appeared to be no necessity to keep the 2011 matter pending further, the writ petition was dismissed for default. ¶9
