Summary

The petitioner, Prabhakar Dnyanoba Kutwal, failed to appear for hearing and did not take any steps to circulate the writ petition after November 7, 2019. The court noted that the petitioner appeared uninterested in pursuing the petition. Consequently, the court considered the lack of prosecution as a ground for dismissal. No arguments or evidence were presented by the petitioner. The court therefore dismissed the petition for non‑prosecution. The dismissal was recorded on July 31, 2026.
