DATED : 10th August 2017.

P.C. :

The Hon'ble the Chief Justice, on request from the litigants and the members of the bar, had taken a decision and which was ratified by the Full Court subsequently that old matters, particularly writ petitions on the original and appellate sides, which have been admitted more than five to ten years back and pending for a decade or more ought to be given priority in hearing and finally disposing them. Accordingly, with an advance intimation and information to the Bar Association and to the litigants, the final hearing board has been prepared and drawn up. Such board is

skn 2/2 189.06-wp.sxw ready and the Bar as also the litigants can access it nearly a week in advance. Today's final hearing board has been notified on 4th August 2017. It was clearly stated that this Board would be taken up on Thursday, namely, today, on 10th August 2017. Yet, none appears on behalf of the petitioner in the writ petition which is at serial No.201. Since the petition is pending from year 2006, we dismiss it for want of prosecution.
