The revision application is dismissed for non‑prosecution.
Summary
Suhhail Agarwaal filed a criminal revision seeking to set aside a Special Judge's order directing him to deposit Rs.3,00,000 and to arrange its refund. The applicant failed to appear before the High Court and no advocate took steps to move the revision. The court noted the long lapse of time since the 2020 filing, indicating the applicant's lack of desire to prosecute the application. Consequently, the court held that the revision could not proceed. The revision application was therefore dismissed for non‑prosecution.
