MR.RAJENDRAKUMAR KALICHARAN VERMAversusMR.MANGILAL BHIMRAMJI CHAUDHARY AND OTHERS

Decided: 18 April 2026
Disposal: Dissmiss For Default/Non-Prosecution
Bench: A S GADKARI KAMAL KHATA

Holding

The petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution.

Summary

The petitioner, Mr. Rajendrakumar Kalicharan Verma, filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court but failed to appear when called for hearing. The court record shows that after 28 January 2016 the petitioner made no effort to circulate the petition even once. The court inferred that the petitioner was not interested in pursuing the relief sought. Consequently, the judges held that the petition could not be kept alive without the petitioner’s active participation. The petition was therefore dismissed for non‑prosecution.

Issues considered

Whether the writ petition should be dismissed on the ground of non‑prosecution due to the petitioner's failure to appear and to circulate the petition?
