Case brief

Jagdish Prasad and others, including State of Chhattisgarh) before the High Court of Chhattisgarh at Bilaspur was dismissed for want of prosecution on 20/02/2026 by Bibhu Datta Guru, J., because no one appeared for the appellants on repeated calls. Counsel column records 'None' for appellants and Mr. Lekhram Dhruv, P.L. for Respondent/State. No statutory provisions or case law were cited or discussed; the order has value only as an instance of dismissal for non-prosecution, not on merits.
What did the court decide?
Despite repeated calls, no one appeared on behalf of the appellants to prosecute the matter, leaving the Court with no other option but to dismiss the case for want of prosecution. ¶21
