Khairul Hasan Chowdhury and Anr. v. State of West Bengal and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Dismissal for default of writ petition (WPLRT No. 215 of 2025; Khairul Hasan Chowdhury and another vs. The State of West Bengal and others), decided 09-02-2026 before Supratim Bhattacharya, J. and Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya, J. Adjournment refused after an earlier last chance (order dated 19-01-2026 following non-appearance); writ petition filed in December 2025 remained unserved on respondents; petitioners held negligent despite claimed change of counsel. Directions: petition dismissed for default; interim orders, if any, vacated; no order as to costs. No statutory provisions or precedents cited; no impugned lower-court order; no dissenting opinion.
What did the court decide?
As a last chance had already been granted to the petitioners, there is no scope of further grant of accommodation; the adjournment request was refused. ¶6
