On 20.12.2025, it was brought to the notice of this Court that the learned counsel for the petitioner was no more, and in view of the same, this Court directed the Registry to issue notice to the petitioner. Pursuant to the said directions, the Registry issued notice to the petitioner; however, it was reported that no such person was residing at the given address. Therefore, this Court directed the Registry to print the name of the petitioner in the cause list. 3. Even today, when the matter is called, there is no representation on behalf of either the petitioner or the respondents. 3 Hence, in light of the above facts and circumstances, and considering that the lis was instituted in the year 2017, the mere pendency of the writ petition does not serve any fruitful purpose. 4. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue his legal remedies in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, in this writ petition shall stand closed. _____________________________ MAHESWARA RAO KUNCHEAM,J 08.01.2026.
