THIS WRIT PETITION IS LISTED FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, AN ORDER IS MADE AS UNDER: ORAL ORDER Though matter called twice, there is no representation on behalf of the petitioners either personally or through video conferencing. When the matter is listed before the Court, and is called out, the advocate must be present in the Court. His or her absence may effect the case. As could be seen from the daily order sheet, the petition was listed on 29.11.2021, on that day, a week’s time was granted to comply with the office objections. Thereafter, the - 3 - NC: 2024:KHC-D:12172 WP No. 104605 of 2021 petition was listed before the Court on several dates and sufficient time was granted to comply with the office objections. Again the petition was listed on 01.07.2024, on that day, two weeks time was granted to rectify the office objections. Despite granting several opportunities, the office objections are not complied with. The petition is listed today for orders regarding non- compliance of office objections for the fifth time. A perusal of the entire order sheet reveals that despite granting sufficient opportunities, the office objections are not complied with. Furthermore, the petition is filed in the year 2021. Now we are in the month of August 2024. The petition is pending for almost three years. As already noted above, though matter called twice, there is no representation on behalf of the petitioners, either personally or through video conferencing. It appears that the petitioners are not diligent in prosecuting the petition. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed for non-prosecution and also for non-compliance of office objections.
