Case brief
What is this about?
S.B. Criminal Writ Petition No. 396/2025 (CRLW-396/2025), Sohani Devi Jyani and Ramesh Chand Choudhary v. State of Rajasthan and others, High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan, Jaipur Bench; decided 05/05/2025 by Mrs. Justice Shubha Mehta; neutral ID [2025:RJ-JP:18801]. Operative order (passed in Hindi): no appearance for petitioners on the hearing date nor on 23-04-2025; petition dismissed for want of prosecution; stay application and other pending applications, if any, disposed of. No issues argued, no statutory provisions or precedents cited, no monetary quantum. Of value only as a procedural instance of dismissal in default for non-prosecution.
What did the court decide?
As the petitioners were absent on the date of hearing and had also remained absent on 23-04-2025, the Court found that the petitioners are not inclined to prosecute the petition and dismissed the writ petition for want of representation, further ordering that the stay application and any other pending applications also stand disposed of.
