The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that despite his best efforts to contact the petitioner, he has not been able to get contact and get instructions in the matter even though he had also sent a letter to the first petitioner in this regard.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that this Court in a similar challenge in W.P.No.13671 of 2013, having regard to the passage of time, has closed the said writ petition as infructuous.
