Summary

The petitioner, Alankruta R. Dave, filed a special civil application before the High Court of Gujarat seeking relief against Gujarat Ayurved University and others. The petitioner failed to appear in court despite the matter being called out twice. The Court noted the non‑appearance and held that the petition could not proceed.
