Holding
The application is dismissed for non‑prosecution.
Summary
Neha Om Nerikar filed Misc. Civil Application No. 105 of 2025 seeking relief against Om Chandrashekhar Nerikar. The Court issued notices and set dates for filing an affidavit of service, but the applicant and her advocate, Mr. Bagwe Anil Pandurang, failed to appear on multiple occasions, including the final date listed for disposal. Despite repeated warnings that the application would be dismissed for non‑prosecution, no representation was made either in person or via video conference. Consequently, the Court dismissed the application for non‑prosecution and vacated any interim orders that might have been in force. The dismissal was entered as a final order.
Issues considered
- Whether the Court may dismiss a miscellaneous civil application for non‑prosecution due to the applicant's failure to appear despite prior warnings
Subjects
- non‑prosecution
- dismissal
- procedural default
- miscellaneous civil application
- court procedure
