- Disposal
- Dismissed
Holding
The Court dismissed the writ petitions for non‑prosecution as the petitioners failed to appear.
Summary
Datta Vikas Seva Sahakari Seva Sanstha Maryadit filed a series of writ petitions (Nos. 4364, 4366‑4367, 5749‑5755, 5770‑6186, etc.) before the Bombay High Court, Kolhapur Bench, seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra. The petitioners failed to appear on the scheduled hearing dates, including the last occasion. The Court noted that no accommodation was sought and that the petitions remained unprosecuted. Relying on procedural rules, the Court held that a petition cannot proceed without the petitioner’s presence or a valid request for adjournment. Consequently, the Court dismissed all the writ petitions for non‑prosecution. The dismissal was entered as a final order, and any pending applications were also disposed of.
