Holding
The application under Section 482 was dismissed for non‑prosecution and the interim order was vacated.
Summary
The petitioners filed an application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking relief in a matter that has been pending since 2021. No counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioners, although the Additional Government Advocate and counsel for the complainant were present. The Court noted the petitioners' failure to prosecute the application and therefore rejected it for non‑prosecution. Consequently, the interim order that had been in force was vacated. The Court directed the office to communicate this order to the concerned court for necessary action. The decision emphasizes that a Section 482 application must be actively pursued by the applicant.
Issues considered
- Can an application under Section 482 of the CrPC be entertained when the applicant fails to appear and prosecute the case?
