Summary

Balaji Mukutrao Shinde filed a series of criminal revision applications (Nos. 120‑130 of 2019) before the Bombay High Court challenging orders of the State of Maharashtra. No counsel appeared on behalf of the applicant and the applicant himself was absent. The Court noted the lack of prosecution and, after hearing the respondent’s counsel, dismissed the applications for non‑prosecution. The dismissal was recorded without any substantive examination of the merits of the revisions. Consequently, the applicant’s relief was denied and the status quo was maintained.
