Holding
The contempt petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution.
Summary
The petitioners, M.A. Quadeer Siddiqui and others, filed a contempt petition (Contempt Petition No. 321 of 2013) against the State of Maharashtra. After filing, the petitioners failed to appear before the court and did not take any further steps, including no circulation of the petition after 27 August 2013. The court observed that the petitioners showed no interest in prosecuting the matter. Consequently, the judges held that the petition could not proceed in the absence of prosecution by the petitioners. The contempt petition was therefore dismissed for non‑prosecution.
