What did the court decide?
None appeared for the petitioner on call and no accommodation was sought; considering the nature of the prayer and the long pendency of the 2009 case, the petitioner appeared not interested in pursuing the matter, so the writ petition WPA 1624 of 2009 was dismissed for default without any order as to costs. ¶¶10
