- Dissmiss For Default/Non-Prosecution
Holding
The petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution.
Summary
A writ petition (No. 2826 of 2014) was filed by Dost Mohammed Yaar and Mohammed Momin against the Senior Police Inspector and others. The petitioners failed to appear for the hearing on the scheduled date, and no further steps were taken to advance the petition after the earlier hearing on 4 December 2014. The court noted that the petitioners appeared uninterested in pursuing the relief sought. Consequently, the judges observed that the petition remained unprosecuted. On this basis, the court dismissed the petition for non‑prosecution. The dismissal was recorded by both judges on 2 February 2026.
Issues considered
- Whether the writ petition should be entertained despite the petitioners' non‑appearance and lack of prosecution
Subjects
