years, concededly no market rent/damages are being paid to the Respondent. The Petitioners have also instructed their Counsel that they are not in a position to pay the same. This Court does not deem it apposite to continue the interim protection granted to the Petitioners on 14.07.2022. Accordingly, CM Appl. 30749/2022 stands dismissed.

8. The Respondent is at liberty to take recourse to appropriate proceedings for recovery of possession, recovery of arrears and for recovery of the full user charges/damages from the Petitioners at market rate for the period after the date of the Eviction Order, in accordance with law."

4.

The respondent appearing in-person submits that the possession of the said premises has already been taken and she therefore, does not wish to insist on damages.

5.

None appears on behalf of the petitioners today. 6.

There was no appearance on behalf of the petitioner on the previous three dates of hearing, i.e., 29.07.2025, 15.10.2025 and 02.02.2026, as well. 7.

In view of the above, the present petition is dismissed in default for non-prosecution and disposed of accordingly.
