State of Maharashtra & Ors. ..Respondents None for petitioner. Mr.V.S.Masurkar, G.P. for respondent State. CORAM :- V.C.DAGA & A.A.SAYED,JJ. DATE : 18TH SEPTEMBER, 2009 P.C. 1. This petition is pending for admission since 8th October, 2008. The petitioner did not take any step to get this matter circulated so as to obtain appropriate orders. The petitioner is also not adhered to serve the respondents. Dismissal of petition in default results into application for restoration which is normally allowed, it ultimately creates strain on the Registry. Therefore, we ourselves went through the petition. 2. The petitioner is seeking a relief that respondent No.2 be directed to dispose of the petitioner’s application dated 1st September, 2008 within stipulated time and in the meantime, the petitioner may not be prosecuted for running the Video Game Parlour. Since the petition is pending for almost last one year, the application might have been decided by now. Under these circumstances, we have no option but to dismiss the petition for want of prosecution. Hence, petition stands dismissed with no order as to costs. (A.A.SAYED,J.) (V.C.DAGA,J.)
