Bombay High Court

RANJEEV AGGARWALversusSTATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ORS

Decided: 18 September 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The order dismissing the writ petition for non‑prosecution is recalled and the petition is restored to the Court's file.

Summary

Ranjeev Aggarwal filed Writ Petition No.2658 of 2024 in the Bombay High Court. The Court had earlier dismissed the petition on 11 August 2026 on the ground of non‑prosecution. The applicant filed Interim Application No.3298 of 2026 seeking relief against that dismissal. The Court, after hearing counsel for both sides, allowed the interim application in terms of prayer clause (a). Consequently, the dismissal order was recalled, the writ petition was restored to the Court's file, and a further hearing was fixed for 6 October 2026.
