ORDER

It is noticed that on the previous occasion, when the case came up

for hearing on 19.02.2025, a request was made by the learned counsel for the petitioner for adjourning the case by two weeks. Thus, the case was listed on 05.03.2025. On 05.03.2025, the case was not taken up for hearing due to shortage of time and thereafter was listed on 10.03.2025. When the case was taken up for hearing on 10.03.2025, there was no representation on behalf of the petitioner. Hence, the case was directed

to be listed under the caption "for dismissal" on 14.03.2025.

W.P.No.27069 of 2014

Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner is present. The learned counsel for the petitioner is unprepared and he is not ready to get along with the case. Therefore, it is clear and evident that the petitioner is not interested in prosecuting the case. Hence, this Court has no other option but to dismiss the writ petition for non-prosecution

In the result, the writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution.

No costs.
