Madhav Prasad Sahu v. Premlata Sahu
Case brief
What is this about?
Appeal (ACQA No. 54 of 2024, High Court of Chhattisgarh at Bilaspur) dismissed for want of prosecution due to repeated non-appearance of the appellant Madhav Prasad Sahu and his counsel — absent on 18.08.2025 and again when the matter was called twice on 28/01/2026. State represented by Deputy GA Ram Narayan Sahu. No statute or precedent discussed.
What did the court decide?
Since no one appeared for the appellant on 18.08.2025 and none appeared when the matter was called twice on the date of the order, the Court is left with no other option except to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. ¶¶17
