already been made absolute vide order dated 28.03.2011. Paragraph no.5 of the said order is extracted as under:-

¶25

“5. The interim order dated 10^th September 2010 is made absolute during the pendency of the writ petition.”

¶26

A perusal of the order sheets would indicate that no one is appearing on behalf of the respondent since 05.01.2026. It would, thus, appear that the respondent has lost his interest in prosecuting the instant writ petition.

¶27

So far as the aspect of the legal issue is concerned, the same is pending before the Division Bench of this Court. The decision to be rendered by the Division Bench in the aforesaid LPA, shall have full application in the instant case as well. Therefore, the Court finds no reason to keep the instant petition pending.
