Accordingly, the matter was directed to be listed on 11.07.2023. Therefore, the matter was listed on 11.07.2023 and even on the said date none appeared on behalf of the petitioner, and the case was adjourned on 26.07.2023. Even on that day too there was no representation for the petitioner, this Court directed the Registry to list the case under the caption "for dismissal" on 28.07.2023. 3.Even though the matter was listed under the caption for dismissal, today when the matter was called twice, none appeared on behalf of the petitioner.
