                                        ORAL ORDER

4    09-01-2026                     No one appears on behalf of the petitioner.

                                 2. By previous order dated 28.11.2025, this matter

                    was adjourned by way of last chance making it clear that if on

                    the next date, the petitioner is not interested in pressing the writ

                    application then this Court may consider dismissing it for non-

                    prosecution. Today again when the case is called out, no one

                    appears on behalf of the petitioner to press the writ application.

                    Hence, in light of previous order dated 28.11.2025, the case is

                    dismissed for non-prosecution.
