¶32

Mr. V. Kumar, learned Advocate appearing on behalf of Mr. B.C. Pathak, the Advocate for the petitioner on record, submits that the file has been taken away from the office of the conducting lawyer and perhaps for that reason, no steps could be taken for issuance of notice to the respondents.

¶33

It appears that the petitioner has also not taken any interest in pursuing the matter.

¶34

In all probability, the petitioner appears to have lost interest in prosecuting this case any further.

¶35

Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution.
