Arvind Kumar, v. The State of Bihar through the District Magistrate
Case brief
What is this about?
Patna High Court writ petition (Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.5317 of 2021) dismissed as default on account of non-prosecution on 23-07-2024 by Anjani Kumar Sharan, J., after the petitioner failed to appear on successive dates (06.07.2024 and the decision date). Purely procedural oral order: no issues framed, no statutory provisions or precedents cited, no relief granted, no monetary amount involved. Relevant only as an instance of dismissal for non-prosecution/non-appearance practice at the Patna High Court.
What did the court decide?
Considering that nobody appeared for the petitioner despite repeated calls (including on 06.07.2024) and learned counsel for the State was present, the present writ application is dismissed as default on account of non-prosecution. ¶25
