Holding
The petition is dismissed in default for want of prosecution.
Summary
The petitioner, Ravindra Rajaram Wagh, filed a writ petition in 2017 before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench. Over the years, the petitioner failed to appear for any hearing, including on 7 April 2026 when the court noted his absence. The court observed that the petition had been pending for several years and the petitioner appeared disinterested in prosecuting the matter. The court gave one final opportunity by placing the case under the 'For Dismissal' caption. On 10 April 2026, as the petitioner again failed to appear, the court dismissed the petition in default for want of prosecution.
