The writ petitions are dismissed for non‑prosecution.

Summary

Orion Ropes Pvt. Ltd., through its manager, filed two writ petitions (Nos. 5409 and 5418 of 2012) in the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging unspecified orders. Court service notices were served on the petitioner on 15 March 2014 and 29 April 2014 respectively. The petitioner failed to file any appearance or response after the notices were served. The Court observed that the petitioner had not prosecuted the petitions. Consequently, the Court dismissed both writ petitions for non‑prosecution.
