O R D E R

The matter is listed under the caption 'for dismissal' today. Learned Counsel for the petitioner is once again not ready. Even on the last hearing date, there was no representation on the side of the petitioner. On 02.09.2024, when the matter was first listed for 2/5

hearing before me, learned Counsel for the petitioner sought time to get instructions as to whether anything survives for adjudication in this writ petition. Only at her request, the matter was adjourned to 26.09.2024. On 26.09.2024, there was no representation on the side of the petitioner and hence, the matter was directed to be listed under the caption 'for dismissal' today. Since learned Counsel for the petitioner is once again seeking adjournment and the writ petition is of the year 2017, it can now be inferred that the petitioner is not interested in prosecuting this writ petition. 2.Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed for nonprosecution. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. 01.10.2024 Index :Yes / No Internet : Yes / No NCC : Yes/No MR 3/5
