It is seen from the records that on an earlier occasion i.e., on 29.08.2024, when the matter was taken up for hearing, there was no representation for the petitioner either in person or through his counsel. Therefore, the matter was directed to be listed on 05.09.2024 under the caption ''for dismissal''. When the matter was taken up for hearing on 05.09.2024, again there was no representation for the petitioner. To give one more opportunity to the petitioner, the matter was adjourned to 12.09.2024 i.e., today. Today also there is no representation for the petitioner.
2.It appears that the petitioner is not interested in prosecuting the case. Hence, this Court has no other option except to dismiss this Writ Petition for non-prosecution.
