ORDER

The learned counsel for the petitioners stated that he had addressed a letter to the writ petitioners seeking instructions. Though the letter had been received, the petitioners have not responded to the notice of the learned counsel. It is obvious that the writ petitioners are avoiding appearance before this Court and also avoiding to give instructions to the learned counsel whether they had complied with the interim direction dated 22.08.2017 to pay 50% of the enhanced rent. There is no bonafide on the part of the writ petitioners. Accordingly, this Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected Writ Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
