IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI
Cr.M.P. No. 1040 of 2011
Sunil Kumar Singh & Others ….. Petitioners Versus The State of Jharkhand & Another ….. Opposite Parties ----- CORAM
HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR
For the Petitioners: None For the State: Mr. T. Kabiraj, A.P.P -----
09/08.05.2019 No one appears on behalf of the petitioners on repeated calls whereas learned A.P.P is present.
Earlier also on 16.04.2019, no one had appeared on behalf of the petitioners and the case was adjourned by way of last indulgence to learned counsel for the petitioners to press the present petition.
Since the matter pertains to the year 2011 and nobody has been appearing on behalf of the petitioners, I see no reason to keep the same pending.
The present petition is accordingly dismissed for non-prosecution.
