Dr. Kaushal Kishor Mishra v. State of Chhattisgarh
Case brief
What is this about?
Dismissal of writ petition for want of prosecution due to repeated non-appearance of petitioner/counsel despite the matter being called twice on two consecutive dates (09/02/2026 and 18.02.2026); decided by single Bench (Sanjay K. Agrawal, J.) of the High Court of Chhattisgarh at Bilaspur; petitioner an Ayurved hospital employee at Jagdalpur, Bastar; respondents State of Chhattisgarh (Health & Family Welfare Deptt.), Director Ayush, and District Ayurved Adhikari Jagdalpur; no merits adjudicated, no statutes or precedents discussed.
What did the court decide?
As none appeared for the petitioner when the matter was called up twice on the last date of hearing (09/02/2026) and again twice on the day of this order, the Court had no other option but to dismiss the writ petition for want of prosecution. ¶16
