Again, when the matter was taken up for hearing on 08.04.2026, there

¶23

was no representation on the side of the petitioner. In order to grant one more opportunity, this Court directed the Registry to list the matter on 10.04.2026 (today) under the caption ‘For Dismissal’.

¶24

Even today(10.04.2026), when the matter was taken up, there is no representation on the side of the petitioner. Hence, it is evident that the petitioner is not interested in prosecuting the petition. Accordingly, this Civil Revision Petition stands dismissed for non-prosecution. No costs.
