The matter was listed in the revised court list, but no party appeared before the court. The learned Additional Government Advocate was present. The High Court, after noting the absence of the parties, dismissed the application on the ground of want of prosecution. No substantive merits of the application were considered.

Issues considered

  • Whether the High Court can entertain an application under Section 482 CrPC in the absence of the parties.
