Disposal: DISMISSED

Holding

The application is dismissed for want of prosecution.

Summary

The applicants, Shahu S/o Dagadu Kamble and others, filed a criminal application (No. 3490 of 2019) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench. The record showed that on three prior occasions, no counsel appeared on behalf of the applicants, indicating a lack of interest in pursuing the matter. The court noted this pattern as indicative of abandonment of the application. Consequently, the judge held that the application could not proceed due to want of prosecution. The application was therefore dismissed.
