Bombay High Court

AVINASH GOPINATH SHRINGARPUREversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ORS.

Decided: 24 September 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The writ petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution.

Summary

The petitioner, Avinash Gopinath Shringarpure, filed a writ petition (No. 2295 of 2019) in the Bombay High Court. The petitioner failed to appear for the hearing on 27 August 2026 and again on 24 September 2026, indicating a lack of interest in pursuing the petition. The Court noted the petitioner's non‑appearance and dismissed the writ petition for non‑prosecution. Consequently, the interim application (No. 2102 of 2026) filed in the same proceedings was also disposed of as it no longer survived. The judgment was delivered by Justices A.S. Gadkari and Kamal Khata.
