B. Khan / Bafati Khan v. State of Chhattisgarh
Case brief
What is this about?
Single-judge order of the High Court of Chhattisgarh at Bilaspur dated 17/07/2025 dismissing WPS No. 965 of 2020 for want of prosecution due to the petitioner's (a 77-year-old retired employee) continued non-appearance; State respondents represented by Govt. Advocate Mr. Rajeev Bharat; no merits adjudicated, no statutes or cases cited; minimal citation value, relevant only for default-dismissal practice.
What did the court decide?
As no one appeared and no representation was made on behalf of the petitioner even when the case was called out in the second round of hearing, the Court had no option but to dismiss the petition for want of prosecution. ¶23
