When the Writ Petition was taken up for hearing, none appeared on behalf of the petitioner, however, this Court is not inclined to grant any further adjournment, as the Writ Petition was of the year 1997, and due to efflux of time, the relief sought for in this Writ Petition itself would become infructuous. Hence, this Writ Petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. 07.04.2025 sd Index : yes/no To
