Decided: 23 March 2026
Disposal: DISMISS FOR NON-PROSECUTION
Bench: SUNIL DUTTA MISHRA

Holding

The application is dismissed for default due to non‑prosecution.

Summary

The petitioners filed a criminal miscellaneous application (No. 9682 of 2018) before the Patna High Court seeking relief against the State of Bihar and Subhan Ansari. No counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioners on the scheduled date of 23-03-2026, nor had they appeared on earlier dates, resulting in repeated adjournments. The court observed that the petitioners showed no interest in pursuing the matter, which originated in 2018. Consequently, the court considered the application to be in default due to the petitioners' failure to prosecute. The judge dismissed the miscellaneous application for default, noting the lack of representation and prosecution by the petitioners.
