NIYAZ MOHMMAD QUADRI S/O. TAJ MOHMMAD QUADRIversusFOUZIYA TARANNUM W/O. NIYAZ MOHMMAD QUADRI AND ANR

Disposal: DISMISSED

Holding

The criminal revision application was dismissed for want of prosecution due to the petitioner's non-appearance.

Summary

The petitioner, Niyaz Mohammad Quadri, filed a criminal revision application (No. 31 of 2019) seeking to quash a judgment and decree dated 02.01.2018. The High Court had previously ordered that the application would be dismissed for non-appearance of the petitioner's counsel. On the scheduled date, no counsel appeared again, leading the Court to conclude that the petitioner had lost interest in prosecuting the revision. Consequently, the Court dismissed the revision application for want of prosecution. With the revision dismissed, the related criminal application (No. 1240 of 2018) and the stay application were also deemed disposed.

Issues considered

What is the appropriate consequence when the petitioner fails to appear or prosecute a criminal revision application?

3. As the Criminal Revision Application for quashing and

setting aside the impugned judgment and decree dated 02.01.2018 is

dismissed today for non prosecution, nothing survives in the Criminal

Application No.1240/2018. Hence, the Application for stay also stands

disposed of.
