Disposal
DISMISSED

Holding

The petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution.

Summary

The applicants, Maheshchandra Narmadashankar Pandya and others, filed a commercial arbitration application before the Bombay High Court. The court had earlier issued an order on 11 September 2026 directing the petitioners to comply with certain requirements. The petitioners failed to appear before the court and did not comply with the order. The respondent, Pragna Rajanikant Pandya, was represented by Ms. Vrushali Parab on behalf of Mr. Mehul Shah and by Mr. K.L. Vyas for a proposed respondent. The court, noting the petitioners' non‑prosecution, dismissed the petition. The dismissal was entered without any further hearing.
