This matter is taken up through virtual/physical mode.

2. The challenge by filing the present Writ Petition has been made to the Notice dated 22nd December, 2014 (Annexure-1), whereby the petitioner has been asked by the Authorized Officer of the Bank to handover the vacant possession after removal of all items before 29th December, 2014. Further averment is that the forcible possession taken should also be

3. We find that since the filing of the Writ Petition on 27th December, 2016, neither the defects have been removed nor any effort has been made to get the case listed. Even today no one has entered appearance on behalf of the petitioner.

4. In view of the above, it can be safely construed that by efflux of time, the present Writ Petition has become infructuous.
