ORDER
Date : 11.05.2026
None appears for the petitioner on call despite the matter being called twice today before this court.
It has been observed that this matter has been listed today under the column “Order No Steps”. It further appears that the name of the learned counsel for the petitioners, i.e., Mr. D. Saikia, Mr. R. Borpujari, Mr. B. Gogoi, Mr. P. Nayak, and Mr. A. Deka, are reflected in the cause list. However, despite the matter having been called twice, there has been no representation on behalf of the petitioners.
Office Note dated 26.10.2022 also indicates that there has been no steps taken upon the respondent No. 1 by the petitioner’s counsel.
In view of non appearance of the learned counsel for the petitioner, the writ petition stands dismissed for non prosecution.
