Rakesh Kumar Sinha v. Shail Devi and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Procedural dismissal order of the Patna High Court dated 15-02-2024 in Civil Miscellaneous Jurisdiction No.1082 of 2017 (Rakesh Kumar Sinha v. Shail Devi and Ors). Petition dismissed for non-prosecution after the petitioner's non-appearance on 15.01.2024 and again on the order date. No statute or precedent cited, no merits decided, no relief granted, no quantum involved. Of no precedential value; useful only to show that petitions abandoned by litigants may be dismissed for non-prosecution on consecutive defaults.
What did the court decide?
The petitioner's repeated non-appearance, including on two consecutive hearing dates, showed that he had lost interest in his case. ¶11
