cause list as counsel for petitioner but neither he nor anyone on his behalf
is present to press this writ petition even in revised call.
3. Learned A.G.A. representing State-respondents 1 and 2 is present.

even in revised call, therefore, present writ petition is accordingly
dismissed for want of prosecution.
