THIS PETITION COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER 1. This Court vide order dated 18.01.2018 had granted two weeks time as a last opportunity to remove the office objections. Despite the same, even after more than a year and half since the said order was made, office objections have not yet been complied with. Such indolence cannot be condoned.
2. Today, though the matter is called out twice, there is no representation for the petitioner. It is apparent that the petitioner is not interested in prosecuting the petition. In that view of the matter, writ petition is dismissed for default and non-prosecution.
