1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY TESTAMENTARY & INTESTATE JURISDICTION MISC.PETITION NO.10 OF 1992 Balkrishna K. Mehta & Anr. .. Petitioner Versus Rama Aziz Parpia & Ors. .. Respondents Mr.Suryavanshi i/b. Mulla & Mulla for petitioner Ms.Malpathak i/b. M.Sethna for respondent No.1 CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 16th January 2009. P.C. . Request in this petition is to discharge the petitioner as executors of the last will and testament of the deceased Dr.Parmar. The petition is pending in this Court for the last more than 16 years. The matter was before the Court last week and was adjourned at the request of petitioner’s Advocate till today. It is stated that the petitioner No.1 has expired. However, the petitioner No.2 is available but it 2 is not clear as to whether he is interested in seeking reliefs in terms of the petition. 2. Neither it is stated before me as to when the petitioner No.1 expired nor there are any details available with the Advocate. It is stated that second petitioner was at Rajkot and it was very difficult to contact him at Rajkot and that is why this petition could not pressed for all this time. These are not satisfactory state of affairs and this is hardly any explanation for not being able to proceed with this matter, which is pending in this Court for the last more than 16 years. In these circumstances the petition is dismissed for want of prosecution. (S.C.Dharmadhikari, J)
