Despite repeated calls, none appeared on behalf of the petitioner. The record further reflects that learned counsel for the petitioner has remained absent on five earlier consecutive dates, namely 24.11.2023, 24.01.2024, 06.08.2025, 03.11.2025, and 10.11.2025, without furnishing any explanation. 2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State submits that the petitioner has assailed the order of suspension in the present petition. It is further submitted that, upon oral telephonic instructions received by him, the order of suspension impugned herein has already been withdrawn by the competent authority. 3. This Court has heard learned counsel for the State’s and his submission is taken on record. 4. In view of the statement made by learned State counsel that the suspension order under challenge has already been revoked, and considering the consistent non-appearance on behalf of the petitioner, this Court is of the considered opinion that no further adjudication survives in the matter. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of as having become infructuous. No order as to costs. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) Judge Saxena
