After that, the matter has repeatedly been listed before the Division Benches of this Court but no attempt has been made beyond 27.9.2016 to argue it. On 27.9.2016, the following order was passed: "1.

Post that order, we have not seen any interest being evinced by the petitioner or his advocate. Today also, they are absent and we have no assistance in order to decide the issue raised in the Public Interest Litigation.

3.

Keeping that issue or question open for being considered in an appropriate case at the instance of a public spirited citizen other than the present PIL petitioner, this PIL is disposed off. (R.I. CHAGLA, J.) (S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
