The revision application is dismissed for non‑prosecution.
Summary
Pradnya Nitin Landge filed Criminal Revision Application No.184 of 2020 in the Bombay High Court challenging an order dated 30 December 2019 passed by the Sessions Judge, Greater Mumbai, in C.C. No.55/DV/2017 before the Metropolitan Magistrate, 72nd Court, Vikhroli. The applicant failed to appear before the High Court when called and did not take any steps to advance or circulate the matter after filing the revision in 2020. The record showed that the applicant and his counsel were inactive throughout the proceedings. The Court observed that the applicant was evidently not interested in pursuing the revision. Consequently, the Court dismissed the revision application on the ground of non‑prosecution. The order was pronounced by Justice Ashish S. Chavan on 17 August 2026.
