Decided
Disposal
Dissmiss For Default/Non-Prosecution

Holding

The writ petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution.

Summary

The petitioner, Manjuben alis Manguben Panchal, filed a writ petition but failed to appear on the scheduled hearing dates, including the final adjournment. The respondent, Nikkhidilal Gupta, was represented by Ms. Anusha Amin. The Court, noting the petitioner's non‑appearance, adjourned the matter as a last opportunity, but the petitioner still did not appear. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition for non‑prosecution and held the pending interim application as infructuous. No substantive merits of the petition were considered.
