Application seeking cancellation of bail granted to opposite party no. 2 (Jainath Mahto) by order dated 17.12.2021 was dismissed for non-prosecution: no steps to remove defects despite peremptory time dated 19.01.2026 and no appearance for petitioners. Of use mainly on non-prosecution/dismissal practice; contains no ruling on the merits of bail cancellation. Keywords: bail cancellation, non-prosecution, removal of defects, peremptory time, petitioner absent.

As the petitioners took no steps to remove defects despite peremptory time, did not appear when called, and appear to have lost interest in the old matter, the application is dismissed for non-prosecution; the bail-cancellation issue was not adjudicated on merits.
