- CHAWAN PRAKASH
Holding
The application under Section 482 is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
Jagdish Singh Yadav filed an application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code in 2019, seeking the High Court's inherent powers. The applicant's counsel did not appear, while counsel for the State and the other respondent were present. The Court observed that the application had been pending for several years and the applicant appeared to have lost interest in pursuing it. Consequently, the Court found no useful purpose in keeping the application alive. The application was therefore dismissed for want of prosecution, and any interim order previously granted was vacated, with a directive to inform the trial court.
Issues considered
- Whether an application under Section 482 should be dismissed for want of prosecution when the applicant fails to appear and pursue the matter.
Legislation cited
- Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 — s. 482
