No. 1500 of 2009; High Court of Jharkhand, Ranchi; neutral citation 2026:JHHC:10811; decided 16.04.2026 by Justice Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi (single-judge bench); writ petition dismissed for default — petitioners absent despite repeated calls and on 16.04.2010, held to have lost interest; counsel: Rahul Kamlesh, Advocate for the State; no counsel for petitioners; no statutory provisions, precedents, issues or quantum involved; relevant to searches on dismissal for non-appearance/non-prosecution of writ petitions.
What did the court decide?
On repeated calls nobody responded on behalf of the petitioners (nor did anyone appear on 16.04.2010); the petitioners appear to have lost interest in the matter, and accordingly the writ petition is dismissed. ¶35
