Bombay High Court

MR. SHASHIKANT NARAYAN PATKARversusMR. PRASHANT DATTATRAY RAJE

Decided: 30 September 2026
Disposal: Dismissed

Holding

The civil revision application is dismissed for non‑prosecution.

Summary

The applicant, Mr. Shashikant Narayan Patkar, filed a civil revision application before the High Court of Bombay seeking relief against the respondent, Mr. Prashant Dattatray Raje. The applicant failed to appear for the hearing, and even on the final date scheduled, no representative appeared on his behalf. The respondent was represented by Mr. Rohan Patil, instructed by D.S. Mhaispurkar. The Court examined whether the revision could proceed in the absence of the applicant's prosecution. Relying on procedural rules that require active prosecution of a revision, the Court held that the application could not be entertained. Consequently, the revision application was dismissed for non‑prosecution.
