Summary
The petitioner, Dilip Kumar Agrawal, filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court but failed to appear for the hearing. The record shows that after February 11, 2021, neither the petitioner nor his counsel took any steps to advance the petition. The court observed that the petitioner appeared uninterested in pursuing the relief sought. Consequently, the judges concluded that the petition could not be kept alive without active prosecution. The petition was therefore dismissed for non‑prosecution.
Issues considered
