The petitioners failed to appear even after a revised call, and no further steps were taken to prosecute the petition. The Court observed that the petition was abandoned due to want of prosecution. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition, but granted the petitioner a one‑month period to file a restoration application if desired.
