IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI

+ W.P.(C) No. 3613/2004 DEPTT. OF HEALTH, GOVT. OF NCT OF DELHI ..... Petitioner Through None versus KAMLA MEHNDIRATTA & ORS ..... Respondents Through None.

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHAWLA

O R D E R

% 03.05.2017 None appears for any of the parties, though the matter has been kept pending till after lunch. It is a matter of record that the respondent is a senior citizen and when the matter was taken up on 29.9.2015, taking note of the fact that the petition was filed way back in 2004 and the fact that over the years none has been appearing on behalf of the petitioner, which is none else, but, Govt. of NCT of Delhi, time bound directions for filing affidavits for ascertainment of the requisite factual conspectus, came to be passed, besides issuance of notices for the parties. It does not surface on record that the said directions even came to be complied with by the petitioner nor anyone has turned up on behalf of the petitioner. If the Govt. Department does not respond inspite of the fact that the court notice came to be issued for it, any adjudication on the case of the respondent cannot be kept in limbo indefinitely.

Petition is therefore, dismissed in default and for nonprosecution. ANIL KUMAR CHAWLA, J MAY 03, 2017/rc
