Holding
The Court dismissed the writ petitions for non‑prosecution as the petitioners failed to appear and no application was filed to stay the dismissal.
Summary
A large number of writ petitions (Nos. 4364, 4366‑4367, 5749‑5755, 5770‑5775, 5776‑6186, 6190) were filed by Datta Vikas Seva Sahakari Seva Sanstha Maryadit against the State of Maharashtra. The petitioners failed to appear before the Court on the scheduled dates and did not file any further applications to continue the proceedings. The Court, noting the non‑appearance, ordered dismissal of all the petitions for non‑prosecution. The judges also held that any pending applications, if any, could not be entertained and were disposed of. Consequently, the petitions were dismissed without any substantive adjudication on the merits.

P. C. :

non-prosecution.
2. Applications, if any, do not survive for consideration and stand
disposed of.
