Smt.Soumya R., learned HCGP for respondent no.1 - State submits that there is no interim order and proceedings before trial court indicate that petitioners have continuously remained absent and proclamation is also issued. Therefore above petition was liable for dismissal as not being bonafide. 3. On reading prayer sought in petition, in light of grounds urged as well as noting submission of learned HCGP, it is found that there is no justification for retaining this matter before this Court, when matter had progressed before trial Court and petitioners could very well urge all contentions before trial Court. 4. For aforesaid reason, petition is disposed of, reserving liberty to petitioners to urge all contentions before trial Court at appropriate stage. In view of disposal of petition, pending applications, if any, stand disposed of. Sd/- (RAVI V HOSMANI) JUDGE GRD List No.: 1 Sl No.: 28
