Nos. 17786 & 25959 of 2013, Patna High Court, decided 18-03-2025; arises out of PS Case No. 1229/2012, Patna Complaint Case, District Patna.

Counsel: Md.Fahimuddin APP (No. 17786), Ram Bachan Singh APP (No. 25959); none for the petitioner. Cite only if an example of dismissal for want of prosecution on repeated non-appearance is needed.
What did the court decide?
Since no one appeared on behalf of the petitioner on 18-03-2025, and none appeared on the previous occasion of 19.12.2024 either, the petitioner was taken to have lost interest in these matters, and both Criminal Miscellaneous petitions (Nos. 17786 and 25959 of 2013) stand dismissed for want of prosecution.
