(through video conference) When the matter was taken up for hearing on 19.11.2021 as well as today (26.11.2021), there is no representation for the Petitioners despite the matter being posted under the caption 'for dismissal'. There does not appear to be any useful purpose being served in keeping the Writ Petition pending indefinitely when the Petitioners are not interested in prosecuting the same.

In the aforesaid circumstances, the Writ Petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CS II) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar vjt/skr To
