Bench: JITENDRA KUMAR

Holding

The petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution and default.

Summary

Petitioner Rajani Kumari filed Criminal Revision No.708 of 2021 challenging a lower court order. The court gave her two chances to rectify procedural defects identified by the office, but she failed to do so and did not appear before the bench. The State of Bihar was represented by Advocate Mr. Upendra Kumar. Relying on the petitioner’s non‑appearance and failure to cure the defects, the court held that the petition could not proceed. Consequently, the petition was dismissed for non‑prosecution and default.

Issues considered

Whether the criminal revision petition should be dismissed for non‑prosecution and default due to the petitioner’s failure to remove procedural defects and non‑appearance before the court?
