and to proceed further. However, on 15.12.2025, no one appears on behalf of the petitioner in two rounds and the case was adjourned. Again on 07.01.2026, when the matter was called for hearing, no one appears on behalf of the petitioner to pursue the petition and again the matter was listed on defaults. Though no one appears on behalf of the petitioner, but two weeks time was granted to the petitioner to remove the default, yet till date the default could not be removed by the petitioner and no one appears on his behalf and no representation is made and today also the matter has been listed for orders on default.

¶20

In view of the above, it appears that the petitioner lost his interest by efflux of time and accordingly, the present CRMP dismissed for want of prosecution.
