Summary
Vinod Premchand Mahatole filed writ petition No. 2715 of 2022 in the Bombay High Court seeking relief against Ramchandra Baganlal Mahatole and others. The petition remained pending for admission as the petitioner failed to appear in both morning and afternoon sessions. On 23 April 2026 the court observed the petitioner’s lack of interest and, as a last opportunity, listed the matter for dismissal on 28 April 2026. The petitioner again did not appear on the scheduled date. Consequently, the court dismissed the petition for want of prosecution, without addressing the substantive claims.
