Dismissed¶7
Prosanto Bhawal @ P. Bhawal v. Union of India
Calcutta HCWPA/7587/2003
Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Recall of dismissal-for-default order refused; counsel's non-appearance due to miscommunication held insufficient and unsatisfactory reason; argument that litigant should not suffer for advocate's default rejected; old 2003 writ petition noted as possibly infructuous; WPA 7587 of 2003, CAN 3 of 2026, decided 12.06.2026 by Rai Chattopadhyay, J.; no cases or statutes cited.
What did the court decide?
The reasons cited for the learned counsel's non-appearance (miscommunication) are insufficient and unsatisfactory, particularly since the writ petition is an old pending matter of 2003 and may have become infructuous by this time. ¶6
