                            VAISHALI PATIL-JADHAV, JJ.

                    DATED       : 16th September, 2026

Per Court :

1.    None for the petitioner.

2.    The record shows that the petitioner neither removed

office objections nor obtained circulation after filing this

petition. Thus, it appears that the petitioner is not interested

in prosecuting the matter, and therefore, the petition stands

dismissed for non prosecution.
