                                        ORAL ORDER

6    12-01-2026                  Seen the office notes.

                                 2. None appears on behalf of the petitioners however,

                    the learned APP for the State is present.

                                 3. By order dated 21.08.2025, notice was issued to the

                    O.P. No. 2 but the requisites for the same have not been filed by

                    the petitioners till today.

                                 4. Since the order dated 21.08.2025 has not been

                    complied with, it appears that the petitioners are not interested

                    in pursuing the present matter.

                                 5. In view of the above, the application is hereby

                    dismissed.
