Durga Singh v. the State of Bihar
Case brief
What is this about?
Patna High Court (Alok Kumar Pandey, J.), oral order dated 09-09-2025: Criminal Appeal (SJ) No. 2328 of 2024, Durga Singh v. The State of Bihar (arising out of PS Case No. 31 of 2023, P.S. Simra, District Aurangabad), dismissed for non-prosecution after the appellant failed to remove office defect(s) despite repeated opportunities and none appeared for the appellant on the hearing date; earlier order of 02.09.2025 had warned that non-removal of defects would lead to dismissal for noncompliance. No statutes or precedents cited; no quantum involved.
What did the court decide?
As none appeared on behalf of the appellant on 09.09.2025 and the office defect(s) remained unremoved despite the opportunity earlier granted, the present appeal stands dismissed for non-prosecution. ¶21
