                       CORAM:      AARTI SATHE, J.

                       DATE:       06th OCTOBER, 2026

P.C.

         None appears on behalf of the Petitioner. It seems that the Petitioner has

lost interest in prosecuting the present Petition on account of passage of time. In

view thereof, the Writ Petition stands dismissed for want of prosecution.




                                                  (AARTI SATHE, J.)
