              The matter is listed on board various times.                                                    Though
   advocate notice is served to the petitioner, the petitioner has
   remained absent either through himself or represented by any
   advocate. Hence, it appears that the petitioner is not interested
   in prosecuting the matter any further. Under the circumstances,
   present petition stands dismissed for want of prosecution. Rule
   discharged.


              Registry is directed to return back the R & P, if any, to
   the concerned Court forthwith.



                                                                                                   (J. C. DOSHI,J)
