Learned counsel for the petitioner is absent and there is no representation. Learned counsel for respondent submits that petition does not survive for consideration, he prays for dismissal of the petition. 2. The order sheet dated 17.03.2025 reads as under: Sri Shivaraj P. Mudhol and Sri Gurudev Gachchinamath learned counsel have filed two separate memos dated 18.07.2023 and 30.10.2023 respectively, stating that the petitioner has taken back the entire file, in order to engage the services of some other counsel and he has endorsed on both the memos. Perused both the memos. Satisfied. Memos are accepted. Learned counsel Sri Shivaraj P. Mudhol, Sri Anand D. Bagewadi, Shivanand Malashetti and Sri Gurudev Gachchinamath are permitted to retire from the case. Registry is directed to delete their names from the cause list and show the name of the petitioner in the cause list. - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:5291 WP No. 102429 of 2023 Even though memos dated 18.07.2023 and 30.10.2023 were filed by learned counsel Sri Shivaraj P. Mudhol and Sri Gurudev Gachchinamath respectively, petitioner has not appeared before the Court nor made any arrangement to represent on his behalf. I do not find any reason to keep the petition pending. However, to afford one more opportunity either to appear in person or to engage any other counsel on his behalf, list this matter on 22.03.2025 3. In spite of that, none appears for the petitioner. Petition is of the year 2023. I do not find any reason to adjourn the matter, it appears that the petitioner is not interested in prosecuting the petition. Hence, the petition is dismissed.
