Patna High Court; CWJC No. 2224 of 2023; Mohit Kumar Shah, J.; decision dated 19-11-2024; writ petition dismissed for want of prosecution / non-prosecution due to absence of petitioners and their counsel on repeated calls; petitioners Ved Prakash Karanwal and Uma Rani Karanwal; respondents State of Bihar (Chief Secretary), Additional Chief Secretary Vigilance Department, Dy. Superintendent of Police-cum-IO Special Vigilance Unit; no statute or precedent discussed; no quantum involved.
What did the court decide?
Nobody appeared for the petitioners despite repeated calls, so it appears the petitioners have no interest in prosecuting the writ petition and the Court has no option but to dismiss it for want of prosecution. ¶1
