The petition was listed under the ‘cases shall not be adjourned’ category. No counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioner on the scheduled date, and consequently the petition was not pressed before the court.

As a result, any interim order that had been granted earlier was vacated and the matter was consigned to the records.
