Holding

The case was placed in the category of writs likely to have become infructuous under the court’s notice concerning old cases.

HON'BLE MRS. MANJU RANI CHAUHAN, J.
Case is called out. None appears for the petitioner(s) to press this
petition.
It is listed in the category of "writs likely to have become infructuous
(Efflux of Time)".
A notice is also placed in the cause list mentioning that "old cases up
to the year 2022 shall be taken up in the first round itself. In case of
non-appearance, matter shall be dismissed as infructuous or
otherwise, and in the cases, where the cause of action still survives,
the concerned advocates are expected to mark them accordingly in
the cause list. Failure to do so, may result in its dismissal as
infructuous" but, neither the counsel for the petitioner(s) has
appeared nor has the case been marked to indicate that the cause of
action still survives.
The matter is pending since the year 2019. It appears that either the
petitioner(s) has/have lost interest in pursuing the matter or it has
become infructuous.
Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous.
