Decided

Holding

The petition is dismissed due to the non-appearance of counsel for both parties.

Summary

No counsel appeared on behalf of either the petitioners or the respondents to argue the petition. The court noted the absence of representation and, consequently, dismissed the petition. The dismissal was based on procedural grounds rather than substantive merits. No further orders were made.
