He submits that pursuant to remand by this Court in the earlier proceedings, petitioner has not filed the statutory remedy of appeal as has been done in the earlier occasion and the writ petition has been filed without availing the adequate alternative statutory remedy.

Since, none appears on behalf of the petitioner, without going into the merits of the submission made by the respondents, the writ petition is dismissed for want of prosecution. (Madhuresh Prasad, J) M.E.H./- U
