Bombay High Court

RAVINDRA RAJARAM DANGEversusMOHANRAO MADANRAO BHURKE

Disposal: Dismissed

Holding

The revision application is dismissed for non‑prosecution.

Summary

The applicant, Ravindra Rajaram Dange, filed a civil revision seeking permission to deposit rent in the Trial Court, Satara, and any other equitable relief. The applicant's counsel, Mr. Anway Mane, reported that the applicant was unreachable and no instructions could be obtained to proceed. The court observed that neither the applicant nor the respondent, nor any counsel, appeared when the matter was called. Given the lack of prosecution and the applicant's inability to instruct counsel, the court dismissed the revision application. Consequently, the related civil application was also disposed of.

Issues considered

Whether a civil revision application can be dismissed for non‑prosecution due to the absence of the parties and their counsel?
Whether any relief can be granted when the applicant is unreachable and no instructions are available?

Subjects

civil revision
non‑prosecution
dismissal
