Pratap Singh v. The State Of Bihar and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Patna High Court; CWJC No.1813 of 2019; petitioner Pratap Singh (Bhagalpur) v. State of Bihar, Principal Secretary Rural Development Department, District Magistrate Bhagalpur, Sarpan Gram Katchari Gourjn (Block Sahkund) and Jai Krishna Singh; decided 20-02-2025 by Justice Dr. Anshuman; dismissal for non-prosecution/want of pursuit after repeated non-appearance of petitioner despite last-indulgence adjournment dated 06.02.2025; counsel for State (Mr. Vikash Kumar, SC-11) present; no merits decided; no statute or precedent discussed.
What did the court decide?
As no one appeared for the petitioner even after a final one-week adjournment granted as a last indulgence on 06.02.2025, the Court concluded that the petitioner was not interested in pursuing the case and dismissed the writ petition due to non-prosecution, without reaching any merits of the matter.
