On 25.10.2024, learned counsel for the petitioner made submissions that they have already issued ‘No Objection’ to the petitioner; therefore, they have no further instructions in the matter.

Naga Raju, learned counsel, would enter appearance for the petitioner and sought adjournment. The counsel who has entered appearance has been seeking time continuously thereafter.

Kireeti, learned counsel representing Sri A. Rajendra Babu, learned counsel for the respondents is present.” List this matter next week under the caption ‘for dismissal’.” 4. On 22.01.2026, yet again adjournment was sought on the ground that learned counsel for the petitioner is unwell. Even today, Ms. Bh. Phanisri, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, sought time on the same ground. 5. In view of the events explained above, which clearly demonstrate that this Court has granted multiple opportunities and the petitioner has shown no interest in prosecuting the matter, this Court is not inclined to grant any further time and the Writ Petition stands dismissed for non-prosecution accordingly.
