Holding

The petition is dismissed due to the absence of parties or their counsel.

Summary

The court noted the absence of representation and, consequently, dismissed the petition. The dismissal was based on procedural grounds, as the court could not proceed without parties or their advocates present. No substantive merits of the petition were addressed.
