Holding

The petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution.

Summary

The petitioners, Indrani Bal Tausalkar and another, filed a writ petition on 11 October 2019 challenging the State of Maharashtra. No petitioner appeared for hearing, and the record shows they made no effort to circulate the petition. The court observed that the petitioners appeared uninterested in pursuing the case. Consequently, the court dismissed the petition for non‑prosecution. The dismissal was ordered by a bench of Justices A.S. Gadkari and Kamal Khata.

                  P.C. :

                  1)                    None for the Petitioners when called out for hearing.

                  2)                    Record indicates that, since the date of filing of the Petition i.e.

                  11th October 2019, neither the Petitioners nor their Advocates have taken any

                  steps to circulate the Petition, even once.

                  2.1)                  It appears that, the Petitioners are not interested in pursuing the

                  Petition.

                  3)                    Dismissed for non-prosecution.
