The petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.

Summary

The petitioner, Asoda Gramin Bigar Sheti Sahakari Patsanstha Limited, filed writ petition No. 8057 of 2019 in the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging actions of the State of Maharashtra and another respondent. The petition remained unattended, with no appearance from the petitioner even on earlier dates. The case had been pending since 2019, indicating a lack of interest by the petitioner in prosecuting the matter. The Court observed the prolonged inactivity and noted that the petitioner had not taken any steps to move the proceedings forward. Consequently, the Court dismissed the petition for want of prosecution, effectively terminating the suit without addressing the substantive claims.

                                             DATE :      12 JUNE 2026

          P. C.:

          1.        None appears for the Petitioner. Even on the earlier occasion, none

          appeared for the Petitioner. It seems that though the Petition is pending

          since 2019, the Petitioner is not interested in prosecuting the matter.

          2.        The Petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.
