record that on the earlier occasions also the petitioner was not represented.
Taking into account the above, it seems that the petitioner is no longer interested in the instant proceedings.
Be that as it may, it is also seen from the record that the instant writ petition has been filed by the petitioner being aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the respondent authorities in making payment of the compensation.
Taking into account the fact that the petitioner is no longer interested in pursuing the writ petition, the instant writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution.
