Summary

The petition was listed for hearing but no counsel or party appeared on behalf of the petitioner. The court noted the absence of any representation and observed that the petition remained unprosecuted. Consequently, the court exercised its inherent power to dismiss the petition for want of prosecution. No substantive merits of the petition were examined. The order was pronounced on 13 February 2025 by Justice Manjive Shukla.
