This Court has noticed that this writ petition is pending since the year 2018 and even in the last occasion i.e. 17.11.2025 there was no representation on behalf of the petitioner and the following order was passed: “None appears for the petitioner on call whereas the respondents are represented.

However, the matter was adjourned on behalf of the petitioner on the next date which was on 11.04.2023 i.e. after a lapse of about 5 years. On the next date, i.e. 31.07.2023, there was no representation from the petitioner and on 29.11.2023, again adjournment was sought for by the learned counsel for the petitioner. There was further no representation on 22.10.2025 and on the last Page No.# 3/3 date i.e. 31.10.2025, this Court after adjourning the matter on the prayer of the learned counsel for the petitioner had also remarked that this is an old pending matter. Be that as it may, let another chance be given to the petitioner and the matter be listed for consideration tomorrow i.e. 18.11.2025. It is made clear that in case of further non-representation, this Court would pass appropriate order(s).” 3. Also heard Mr. R. K. D.
