Summary
The petitioner, Kumar Kamlesh, filed a writ petition on 26 October 2020 in the Bombay High Court seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra. No appearance was made by the petitioner or his counsel at any hearing, and the record shows no effort to circulate the petition. The court observed that the petitioner appeared uninterested in pursuing the matter. Consequently, the court considered whether the petition could continue despite the lack of prosecution. It held that the petition must be dismissed for non‑prosecution. The petition was therefore dismissed.
Issues considered
- Whether the writ petition should be dismissed for non‑prosecution due to the petitioner’s failure to appear and take steps to advance the petition?
Subjects
