Both writ petitions were dismissed for non-prosecution: there was no representation for either party on 03.02.2025 or when the matter was called out on 04.02.2025, the court's earlier order was not complied with, and the petitioner appeared not interested in pursuing the matter. No adjudication was made on the merits of the challenge to the impugned order.
