DATE : 29th SEPTEMBER 2026
P.C. :
. On 10th September 2026, this Court had passed the
following order :
“. Even on the second call, the learned counsel for the
petitioner is not present as he is reported to be on his legs
before another Court.
2. List this petition for further consideration in the
category of ‘fresh matters’ on 29.09.2026.”
2. Even today, there is no appearance on behalf of the
petitioner for effective arguments. It appears that the petitioner is
not serious about pursuing the present petition.
3. Hence, the petition is dismissed for non prosecution.
Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
