Holding
A revision petition is dismissed for want of prosecution when the petitioner does not appear or prosecute the matter.
Summary
The revision petition filed by Anurag Agarwal against Sunil Gupta was listed before the High Court but no appearance was made by the petitioner. The petitioner failed to prosecute the revision, and consequently, the court examined whether the revision could be entertained in the absence of any prosecution. The court held that a revision petition cannot proceed without the petitioner’s active participation. Accordingly, the revision was dismissed for want of prosecution. The interim order that had been passed earlier was vacated. No substantive merits of the dispute were addressed due to the procedural lapse.
