Holding
The appeal was dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
The appellant, Mr. Pramod Krushnat Mohite, failed to appear before the High Court of Bombay for the first appeal (ST) No. 12769 of 2018. The court noted that the appellant had previously sought a time extension but subsequently showed no desire to prosecute the appeal. The central issue was whether the court could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. The court held that, given the appellant's non‑appearance and lack of intent to continue, the appeal could be dismissed. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed and the related civil applications were also disposed of.

P.C.
1. Today, none appears on behalf of the Appellant. The previous order also
shows that a request for time was made by the Appellant. Hence, it is clear that
the Appellant is not desirous of prosecuting the captioned First Appeal. The same
is thus dismissed for want of prosecution.
2. In view of the dismissal of the First Appeal, nothing further survives in the
the Civil Applications and the same are accordingly disposed of.
