Bombay High Court
RAISA ASIF SHAH AND ANR.versusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ORS
- Decided
- Disposal
- Dissmiss For Default/Non-Prosecution
Holding
The petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution as the petitioners failed to appear or take steps to pursue the petition.
Summary
The petitioners filed a writ petition on 7 December 2020 seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra. No petitioners appeared when called for hearing, and the record shows they made no effort to circulate the petition at any time. The court observed that the petitioners appeared uninterested in pursuing the matter. Consequently, the petition was dismissed on the ground of non‑prosecution. The dismissal reflects the court’s stance that a petition cannot proceed when the petitioners fail to actively pursue it.
