Rohit Chandra v. State of Chhattisgarh
Case brief
What is this about?
Chhattisgarh High Court writ petition (WPC No. 1646 of 2022) dismissed for want of prosecution on 16/06/2026 by Justice Amitendra Kishore Prasad owing to complete non-appearance and non-representation by petitioner Rohit Chandra, despite the matter being called out in a second round of hearing. Respondents: State of Chhattisgarh (through Secretary, Ministry of Revenue), District Collector, SDO (Revenue), Tahsildar Marwahi, Ex-Sarpanch Gram Panchayat Marwahi, and Rahul Nahrel. Purely procedural dismissal; contains no ratio on merits and cites no statute or precedent.
What did the court decide?
Since 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. ¶20
