O R D E R

Though the matter has been posted under the caption 'for dismissal', there was no representation for both sides when the matter was called at 11.02 a.m. today, apart from the earlier hearing on 07.11.2022. There does not appear to be any useful purpose being served in keeping the Writ Petition pending indefinitely when the Petitioner is not interested in prosecuting the same. In such circumstances, the Writ Petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. It is made clear that the Petitioner is not precluded from applying for revival of the Writ Petition, if necessary, in accordance with law. No costs.
