ORAL ORDER
Learned counsel for the petitioners is absent. No
representation, even when the matter was passed over twice and again called at 2.57 p.m.
The order sheet dated 05.08.2024 reads as under:
" Learned counsel for the petitioners is absent.
No representation.
The office objections are not yet complied with nor PF and copy of the petition and enclosures are furnished for issuance of notice to the respondent as per the order dated 25.09.2021. It appears that the petitioners are not
NC: 2024:KHC:36688 CRL.P No. 4965 of 2019
interested in prosecuting the petition. However, to afford a final opportunity, list this matter next week."
Even though the matter is listed for fourth time, office objections are not complied with. I do not find any reason to adjourn the matter. It appears that the petitioners are not interested in prosecuting the matter.
Hence, the petition is dismissed for non-compliance of
office objections.
