Adjourned to 02.12.2022.

However, no further adjournment shall be granted. Let the intimation regarding the next date of hearing be given to the counsel for the parties. The perusal of the soft copy of this case shows that the writ petition has not been scanned by the office properly. The Registry is directed to ensure that the properly scanned soft copy of the case file is available on the Document Management System (DMS) of this court." 5.

On 02.12.2022, again there was no representation on behalf of the parties and the following order was passed:- "There is no representation on behalf of the parties.
