DATE: 28 JANUARY 2015 P.C. :- 1] The records indicate that despite several opportunities, the petitioner took no steps to serve the respondent nos. 2 to 8.

Even today, time is being applied for in order to take steps to set aside the dismissal of the petition against the respondent nos. 2 to 8. 2] It appears that the petitioner is not interested in pursuing the matter with diligence. In such circumstances, it will be appropriate to dismiss this petition for non prosecution.
