Holding
The application under Section 482 CrPC is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
The applicant, Rahul, filed an application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking relief from the High Court. The application was listed before the Hon'ble Justice Deepak Verma, but the applicant's counsel was not present, while the State's counsel appeared. The Court noted the absence of the applicant and dismissed the application for want of prosecution. Consequently, any interim order that may have been passed earlier was vacated. The dismissal reflects the Court's procedural stance that an application cannot proceed without the applicant's participation.
