What did the court decide?
The petition is dismissed for want of prosecution: with no appearance by or for the petitioner on 12.03.2026 or 18.03.2026 despite repeated calls, and the petitioner apparently having lost interest in the 2016 petition, the Court was left with no other option but to dismiss.
