Holding
The application under Section 482 CrPC is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
Rahul and two others filed an application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking relief, presumably to quash a criminal proceeding. The matter was listed in the revised court list, but no party appeared before the court. The learned Additional Government Advocate was present. The Hon'ble Judge observed the lack of prosecution and dismissed the application for want of prosecution. No substantive merits of the application were considered. The dismissal effectively leaves the underlying criminal proceedings untouched.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriate course of action when an application under Section 482 CrPC is filed but no party appears before the court?
