Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: KISHORE C SANT SUSHIL M GHODESWAR

Holding

The petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.

Summary

The writ petition filed in 2017 by M/s Pranav Omprakash Khake and others against the Union of India remained unattended; no party appeared when the matter was called in both the morning and second sessions. The court observed that the petition appears to have been abandoned by the petitioners. Consequently, the High Court dismissed the petition for want of prosecution. No substantive merits were addressed. The dismissal reflects procedural non‑compliance rather than a decision on the substantive claims.

                                                     DATE  : 28.01.2026

           PC :-

           01.                None was present when the matter was called out in the
           morning session. None for the parties even in the second session. This
           petition is of 2017.              It is not circulated till now.   It seems that the
           petitioners are not interested in prosecuting this petition.


           02.                This Writ Petition stands dismissed for want of prosecution.




           [SUSHIL M. GHODESWAR, J.]                                 [KISHORE C. SANT, J.]
