Bombay High Court

ALIYA MOJIB PINJARIversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ORS.

Decided: 17 June 2026
Disposal: Dissmiss For Default/Non-Prosecution
Bench: A S GADKARI KAMAL KHATA

Holding

The petition is dismissed as the petitioner failed to prosecute the writ petition.

Summary

The petitioner, Aliya Mojib Pinjari, filed a writ petition in the High Court of Bombay. The petitioner failed to appear for the hearing when called. The court record shows that after 15 October 2025, neither the petitioner nor her counsel took any steps to circulate the petition. It appears the petitioner was not interested in pursuing the relief sought. The court held that such inaction amounted to non‑prosecution of the petition. Consequently, the petition was dismissed.

Issues considered

Whether the writ petition should be dismissed on the ground of non‑prosecution due to the petitioner’s failure to appear and to take steps to pursue the petition?
