PER COURT :

1.       In the morning session, when the matter was called out, none

appears for the Petitioner and, therefore, the matter was kept back. In

the afternoon session also, when the matter was called out, nobody

appears for the Petitioner.



2.      This Petition is pending since 2019 and the same is not

prosecuted. It seems that the Petitioner is not interested in prosecuting

the matter. Hence, the Petition is dismissed in default for want of

prosecution.
