Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Dismissal of writ petitions for non-prosecution; default dismissal owing to petitioners' absence despite repeated calls; writs of 2017 vintage (W.P. (C) Nos. 5421 and 962 of 2017) disposed of on 12-01-2024; respondents represented by State counsel (GP I, CGC, AC to GPI); no substantive adjudication of any claim; no statute or precedent cited; no costs, damages or amounts awarded.
What did the court decide?
As no one turned up on behalf of the petitioners in spite of repeated calls, and the respondents' counsel submitted that the writs lacked merit and that the petitioners were not diligent in prosecuting them, the Court dismissed both writ petitions (W.P. (C) Nos. 5421 and 962 of 2017) for non-prosecution. ¶20
