Bombay High Court
SONU JANU KHARATversusTHE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF GREATER MUMBAI
- Decided
- Disposal
- Dismissed
Holding
The appeal is dismissed for non‑prosecution as the appellant failed to prosecute the proceedings.
Summary
The appellant, Sonu Janu Kharat, filed an appeal against an order of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai but failed to pursue it, apparently due to the passage of time. The respondent, MCGM, was represented by Ms. Smita V. Tondwalkar. The High Court examined whether the appeal could continue despite the appellant's inactivity. Finding that the appellant had lost interest and did not prosecute the appeal, the Court dismissed the appeal for non‑prosecution. The interim application filed alongside the appeal was also dismissed as it did not survive the dismissal of the main appeal.
Issues considered
