Case Note & Summary
The case involved a civil writ petition filed by G.D. Sharma and others against Haryana Kshetriya Gramin Bank and others. The matter was called for hearing, but there was no representation from the petitioners at that time. Consequently, the court dismissed the writ petition for default due to non-prosecution. The presiding judge, Hon’ble Mr. Justice K. Kannan, noted the absence of the petitioners and concluded that the lack of representation justified the dismissal of the petition. The decision was made on 21st July 2011, reflecting the court's stance on the importance of prosecuting a case actively.
