Bombay High Court

NOAMAN MUSA KHARODIAversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ORS

Decided: 25 June 2026
Disposal: Dismissed
Bench: A S GADKARI KAMAL KHATA

Holding

The petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution as the petitioner failed to appear or take any steps to pursue the petition.

Summary

The petitioner, Noaman Musa Kharodia, filed a writ petition on 21 September 2019 in the High Court of Bombay. No appearance was made by the petitioner at the hearing, and the record shows that neither the petitioner nor his counsel took any steps to circulate the petition thereafter. The court observed that the petitioner appeared uninterested in pursuing the petition. Consequently, the court held that the petition could not be kept pending without any action by the petitioner. The petition was therefore dismissed for non‑prosecution.

Issues considered

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