Holding
All the writ petitions are dismissed for non‑prosecution.
Summary
Datta Vikas Seva Sahakari Seva Sanstha Maryadit filed a series of writ petitions (Nos. 4364, 4366‑4367, 5749‑5755, 5770‑5775, 5776‑6186, 6190) challenging actions of the State of Maharashtra. The petitions were listed for dismissal because the petitioner’s counsel failed to appear on the scheduled hearing. The Court observed that no further applications were filed to revive the petitions. Accordingly, the bench dismissed all the petitions on the ground of non‑prosecution. The decision was based solely on procedural rules, without addressing the substantive merits of the petitions.
