HON'BLE SARAL SRIVASTAVA, J.
HON'BLE SUDHANSHU CHAUHAN, J.
As per office report dated 09.12.2025, the notice has been served upon the
petitioner, but neither any vakalatnama nor anyone has put in appearance on
behalf of the petitioner. Therefore, service of notice upon petitioner is
deemed sufficient.
It appears that by the efflux of time, the petitioner has lost interest in
pursuing the case.
Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Interim order, if any, stands vacated.
