W.P.C.No.17974 OF 2010
Dated this the 5th day of October, 2013.
JUDGMENT
When the matter came up for consideration before this Court, there was no representation for the petitioner yesterday
and hence it was adjourned and listed today. The position has not improved and there is nobody to represent the petitioner. It appears that the petitioner has lost interest in the cause of action.
Hence, the writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution.
