When the writ petition was taken up for hearing on 20.11.2017, there was no representation for the petitioner and hence, the matter was ordered to be posted on 21.11.2017 under the caption 'for dismissal'.
2.Today, even though, the matter is listed under the caption 'for dismissal', neither the petitioner nor his counsel is present to prosecute the matter. Hence the Writ petition is dismissed for non prosecution. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous petition is closed.
