P. C. :

1. In the present writ petition, the Petitioner seeks a direction

to Respondent No.2 (National Highways Authority of India) to decide

the representation submitted by the Petitioner on 21 st July 2017. This

writ petition was filed on 27th July 2017. It appears from the

proceedings that thereafter, the Petitioner has never remained present

when the matter was called out. Hence, by an order dated 03 rd August

2026, the petition was kept today under the caption “For Dismissal”.

2. None appears for the petitioner. Hence, the writ petition is

dismissed for default.
