Consistently, there is no representation for the petitioner. When the matter was listed for hearing on 09.11.2020, there was no representation for the petitioner, hence, the matter was adjourned to 25.11.2020. On 27.11.2020 also, there was no representation for the petitioner and hence, the matter was adjourned to 02.12.2020. Even on 02.12.2020, there was no representation for the petitioner and hence, the Registry was directed to list the matter under the caption “for dismissal” on 04.12.2020. Though the matter has been listed under the caption “for dismissal”, today also, none appeared for the petitioner. Hence, this Court has no other option, except to dismiss the
