When this matter came up for consideration on 12.06.2025, this court passed the following docket order:- "Though this writ petition filed in the year 2003, and counsel for the petitioner was already accommodated on 21.04.2025, a request was made by the learned counsel and accordingly, the matter is listed today.
2. Even today, learned counsel made a request again for adjourning the matter. This court is not inclined to grant adjournments since the writ petition is of the year 2003.
3. Hence, list the matter under the caption 'For Dismissal' on 16.06.2025."

3. In the circumstances, this court is left with no other option except to dismiss the writ petition for non-prosecution. Accordingly, the same is dismissed for non-prosecution. No costs. Connected miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
