A writ petition filed in 1998 stands dismissed due to lack of prosecution. No representative appeared for the petitioners when the matter was called for, and the Court declined to entertain the case due to its age.

A compact analysis

This page shows the compact analysis of this judgement. The full analysis — procedural history, issue-by-issue holdings with ratio and obiter, advocates, and paragraph-level evidence for every claim — is being added to the record in batches and will appear here when this judgement has been through it.

This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

None appears for the petitioners at the time of call.

Since this is an old case of the year 1998 and none is there

to prosecute the matter, this Court is not inclined to entertain this writ petition.
