C. PRATHEEP KUMAR, J
MEENU PRABHA – Appellant
Versus
STATE OF KERALA – Respondent
CRL.MC NO. 4756 OF 2022

Failure to represent in court leads to dismissal of petitions for non-prosecution.

Headnote:This matter concerns the dismissal of Criminal Miscellaneous Case No. 4756 of 2022 for non-prosecution. The petitioners, absent from the proceedings, failed to represent the case on three occasions, prompting the Court to conclude and dismiss the application. The critical issue revolves around the petitioners' unavailability after being duly notified. Court held that repetitions of no representation cannot justify continued litigation. Accordingly, the case is dismissed.
