Chhattisgarh High Court, Bilaspur — CRMP No. 3194 of 2024, order dated 06.02.2026 by Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal — petition dismissed for want of prosecution (non-prosecution) as petitioners and counsel were absent with no representation on two consecutive listings (27.11.2024 and 06.02.2026). Petitioners: Chandrashekhar Shriwas and Pawan Kumar Nayak; State respondents represented by panel lawyer Mr. Afroj Khan. No merits adjudication, no statutory provisions or case law cited; of limited precedential value, useful only on default dismissal for non-appearance.
What did the court decide?
Since no one appeared on behalf of the petitioners and no representation was made, the Court concluded the petitioners were not interested in the case and had no other option but to dismiss the petition for want of prosecution. ¶27
