CORAM: ASHISH S. CHAVAN, J.
DATE : 18th SEPTEMBER, 2026
P.C:-
1. Although the Writ Petition seeks to quash and set aside
the order of the Civil Judge, Junior Division, Pimpri, dated
08.07.2024, when the Writ Petition was listed before this Court
on 18.11.2024, none appeared for the Petitioner. Since then,
no efforts have been made either by the counsel for the
Petitioner or the Petitioner to seek circulation of the matter or
to obtain any reliefs as prayed for in the Writ Petition. It is
evident from the conduct of the Petitioner that he is not
desirous of seriously prosecuting the Writ Petition.
Consequently, the Writ Petition stands dismissed for non-
prosecution.
