There was no representation on behalf of petitioner on the last two consecutive hearings; same is the position today as well. It seems that the petitioner has lost interest in prosecuting the matter.
Dismissed for non-prosecution along with connected CM(s). Interim direction, if any, shall stand vacated.
In view of orders passed in main petition, the proceedings in the contempt petition are dropped and contempt petition is closed .
