SONDUR, ADVOCATE FOR R7-R16; R1, R3, R4 AND R6-SERVED AND UNREPRESENTED) THIS WRIT PETITION IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA, SEEKING CERTAIN RELIEFS. THIS WRIT PETITION IS LISTED FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, AN ORDER IS MADE AS UNDER: ORAL ORDER Sri.Srinivas B.Naik., counsel for the petitioners has appeared in person and seeks time to comply with the office objections. - 7 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:6540 WP No. 106929 of 2023 The Court is not inclined to grant time. The reason is simple. The petition is listed today for non-compliance of office objections for the sixth time. A perusal of the daily order sheet reflects that the petition was listed on several dates and sufficient time was granted to comply with the office objections. However, the office objections are not complied with as of today. As could be seen from the petition papers, the petition is filed in 2023. Now we are in the month of April, 2025. The petition is pending for almost two years. As already noted above, despite granting sufficient time the petitioners have not complied with the office objections. The petitioners are not diligent in prosecuting the petition. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed for non-compliance of office objections. Sd/- (JYOTI MULIMANI) JUDGE RH LIST NO.: 1 SL NO.: 19
