                                    1. None appears on behalf of the petitioner(s), even in the revised call.

                                    2. Shri Prakhar Mishra, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel
                                    appearing on behalf of the State respondent(s) is present.

                                    3. In light of the fact that learned counsel for the petitioners have not
                                    appeared in the revised call, we are of the view that the petitioners are no
                                    longer interested in pursuing this writ petition.

                                    4. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed for default.

                                    5. Interim order, if any, stands vacated.
