When the Matter was listed for hearing on 02.02.2024, there was no representation on behalf of the petitioners and hence the matter was posted on 16.02.2024 under the caption ''for dismissal''. Today, the case is listed for hearing under the

caption "for dismissal" but today also there is no representation on behalf of the petitioners. It appears that the petitioners are not interested to proceed with the matter.
