VIVEK CHANDRA SEKHAR S 4 The Court made the following order: Sri P.B.Vijaya Kumar, learned senior counsel for the petitioners, submits that despite best efforts, the petitioners have not been in contact with him for a long time. Perusal of record reveals that, on 25.09.2025, Sri Vivek Chandra Sekhar, learned standing counsel for Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited, Visakhapatnam, submits that petitioner Nos.1 and 2 are given revised pay scale from 01.01.2000 onwards and they have addressed letters to the respondent-corporation informing that they would withdrawn the Writ Petition. Considering the submission made by learned counsel for the parties, since the matter pertains to the year 2006 and the petitioners have not been pursuing the case through his advocate, it shows that they have no interest in prosecuting the matter. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed for non- prosecution. However, if the petitioners feel that the cause still survives, they can file appropriate application within a period of two (2) months. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________________ JUSTICE RAVI CHEEMALAPATI 09.10.2025 MP 5 212 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAVI CHEEMALAPATI WRIT PETITION NO: 21343 of 2002 Dated: 09.10.2025 MP
