Kailash Kumar v. Food Corporation of India and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Writ petition CWP-14385-2019; Kailash Kumar v. Food Corporation of India and others; High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh; decided 20.08.2025; Vinod S. Bhardwaj, J. (oral); dismissed for non-prosecution due to petitioner's repeated absence despite Registry notification and e-mail to counsel; subject matter: denial of interest by General Manager, FCI Chandigarh (orders dated 21.08.2017 and 23.08.2017) on total awarded amount of Rs.1,59,094/-; no statutes or precedents cited; no advocates present.
What did the court decide?
As there was again no representation on behalf of the petitioner despite the Registry notifying the date to counsel (including by e-mail), and none on the last two dates either, the court observed that the petitioner seemed no more interested in pursuing the present writ petition. ¶15
