Holding
The petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution due to the petitioner’s failure to appear and pursue the remedy.
Summary
The petitioner, Nagendra Kumar Chaurasiya, filed a criminal writ petition (WJC No.889 of 2022) in the Patna High Court challenging actions of the State of Bihar and several police officials. The petition sought relief against the respondents but no counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioner throughout the proceedings. On the scheduled hearing date of 22‑01‑2026, the petitioner again failed to appear, indicating a loss of interest in pursuing the case. The learned counsel for the State respondents was present, and the court examined the record. Observing the petitioner’s persistent non‑appearance, the court concluded that the petition could not be pursued further. Consequently, the High Court dismissed the petition on the ground of non‑prosecution.
