TUESDAY, 24TH JULY 2018 P.C. :

The petitioner and the advocate, both are absent. The writ petition is filed in the year 2013 and to be precise on 1st February, 2013. When it was first placed before a Court way back on 12th February, 2013, i.e. five and a half years back, the following order was passed :

"

At the request of the petitioners, stand over to 18th February 2013. Humdast allowed.

ASWP1362.13.doc Any steps taken herein will be subject to further orders in the Writ Petition."

After not succeeding in obtaining any interim orders, the petitioners have lost interest and that is evident from the fact that on sixteen occasions prior to today, this matter was listed, but no attempt has been made to seek any relief in terms of the prayers nor to have the case decided by submitting relevant materials and canvassing oral submissions.

At the instance of the petitioners, on 10th February, 2013, the second respondent was also served. Today, we have a scenario where, except for the petitioners and their counsel, all the contesting parties are before us.

In the circumstances, we do not think that we should keep this petition pending. It is dismissed for want of prosecution.
