                                     DATE       :   30.09.2026

                 P.C. :


                 1.          Though learned counsel for the petitioner seeks
                 time to take instructions but it appears that the petition is
                 filed in the year 2024 and thereafter even the notices were
                 not issued. The petitioner is not even given instructions to
                 his own Advocate till today.
                 2.          Thus, it appears that the petitioner is not
                 interested in proceeding with the matter, Accordingly, the
                 petition stands dismissed for non-prosecution.




                 [VAISHALI PATIL-JADHAV]             [SANDIPKUMAR C.MORE]
