Holding

A civil revision application may be dismissed for non-prosecution when the applicant does not appear for the hearing.

Summary

Joana Jadhav (applicant) filed a civil revision application before the Bombay High Court. The applicant failed to appear on the scheduled hearing date, leading the court to grant a final adjournment. On the adjourned date, the applicant again failed to appear. The court noted the repeated non-appearance as a lack of prosecution of the application.
