Bombay High Court

RAVINDRA NARAYAN BHOIR AND ORSversusTHANE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AND ORS

Decided: 30 September 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The writ petition was dismissed as not pressed, given the petitioners' clear indication of non‑pursuit and the respondents' lack of objection.

Summary

The petitioners filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court seeking relief, but later informed the Court that they were not inclined to pursue the petition. The respondents, Thane Municipal Corporation, raised no objection to the petitioners' decision. The Court considered the petitioners' statement and the lack of opposition from the respondents. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition on the ground that it was not pressed. The interim application, if any, was also disposed of in accordance with this dismissal.

Issues considered

Whether a writ petition may be dismissed when the petitioners indicate they do not wish to press the petition and the respondents do not object.
