Holding

The petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.

Summary

The petitioner, M/s Achal Housing LLP, filed a writ petition before the High Court of Bombay. The petitioner failed to appear at multiple scheduled hearings on 16 June, 29 June, 6 July, and again on 24 August 2026, indicating a loss of interest in prosecuting the petition. The court noted the default and the petitioner’s non‑appearance as a failure to prosecute the petition. Consequently, the court considered whether dismissal for want of prosecution was appropriate. Applying established procedural principles, the court dismissed the writ petition for want of prosecution. The dismissal was entered without any substantive hearing on the merits.

              P.C.:


              1)           None appears for the Petitioner.


              2)           Earlier also there has been default on the part of the
              Petitioner on 16 June 2026 and therefore the Petition was listed for
              dismissal on 29 June 2026. On 29 June 2026, an appearance was made on
              behalf of the Petitioner and accordingly the hearing of the Petition
              deferred to 6 July 2026. Again on 6 July 2026, none appeared on behalf of

                          Petitioner. It appears that the Petitioner has lost interest in prosecuting
                          the Petition.


                          3)              Writ Petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.
