HIGH COURT OF JAMMU & KASHMIR AND LADAKH AT JAMMU SWP No. 2881/2016 Shabina Kouser & Anr …..Petitioner(s) Through: None State of J&K & Ors .…. Respondent(s) Through: Mr. Meharban Singh, AAG Coram: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE WASIM SADIQ NARGAL, JUDGE ORDER (18.08.2026) 01. The record reveals that the matter was listed before this Court on 31.12.2016, on which date the notice was issued. Thereafter, the petitioners did not make any efforts to get the petition listed for further proceedings, and the petition came to be listed only after lapse of nearly ten years i.e on 17.04.2026, on which date none has appeared on behalf of the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents was directed to file response. 02. Today also, when the matter was taken up, there is no representation on behalf of the petitioners, therefore, an inference can be drawn that the petitioners are not interested in prosecuting the instant petition. 03. Accordingly, the instant writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. 04. Interim direction, if any, shall stand vacated. (WASIM SADIQ NARGAL) JUDGE JAMMU 18.08.2026 Vijay S. No. 44 Vijay Kumar 2026.08.19 03.03 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Jammu
