The Court notice which has been issued to the petitioner has been returned with the endorsement “there was no such person”. 2. The matter being of the year 2013, a perusal of the order sheet indicates that there has been no appearance on several occasions. The matter was lastly listed in 2015 and thereafter came to be listed only in the year 2024. Noticing the absence of the petitioner (party-in-person), Court notice had been issued. 3. Since the notice issued to the petitioner (party-in- person) has been retuned with the endorsement “no such person”, there would be no purpose in retaining the file on record. Hence, the petition is dismissed - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:8944 WP No. 31459 of 2013 for non-prosecution. Liberty is however being reserved to the petitioner (party-in-person) to seek for revival in the event of appearance. SD/- (SURAJ GOVINDARAJ) JUDGE SR List No.: 1 Sl No.: 20
