Holding
The application under Section 482 is dismissed for want of prosecution, and the interim order is vacated.
Summary
The applicants filed an application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking relief. The High Court had earlier ordered the applicants to deposit Rs.25,000 with its Mediation Centre, which they failed to do. No representative of the applicants appeared before the Court to pursue the application. Consequently, the Court dismissed the application for want of prosecution and vacated the interim order dated 23‑04‑2025. The trial court was directed to proceed with the case in accordance with law. The order was signed by Justice Chawan Prakash on 29 September 2026.
Issues considered
- Whether the application under Section 482 can be entertained when the applicants have not complied with the Court’s order to deposit the mediation amount
