When the Writ Petition was listed for hearing on 22.09.2010, there was no representation on behalf of the petitioner and hence, the Writ Petition was directed to be posted under the caption 'for dismissal'. Today, when the writ petition is listed for hearing, there is no representation on behalf of the petitioner. Further, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the respondent Board that the cheque given by the petitioner had also been returned for insufficiency of funds. 2.In the light of the fact that there is no appearance on behalf of the petitioner, it is evident that the petitioner is not willing to get along with the matter and therefore, the Writ Petition is dismissed for non prosecution. No costs.
