Summary

The petitioner filed a writ petition and a related civil application in the High Court of Bombay. Over time, the petitioner lost interest in pursuing the matter. The Court observed that the petition had not been prosecuted and, due to the lapse of time, dismissed it for want of prosecution. Consequently, the civil application, which was dependent on the petition, was also dismissed. No further relief was granted to either party.

P.C.

           None for the Petitioner. It appears that due to passage of time, the

Petitioner has lost interest in prosecuting the matter. Hence, dismissed for want of

prosecution.


2.         In view of dismissal of the Petition, nothing survives in the above Civil

Application and the same also stands dismissed.
