On subsequent date i.e., on 08.07.2026, counsel had filed a Memo for retirement. Same was accepted and matter was adjourned to enable petitioner to engage counsel. 2. It is apparent that petitioner has not engaged another counsel, though Sri Anish Jose Antony, Advocate submits that he is in Panel of Muthoot Finance Limited, he clarified that he has no instructions as yet to appear for petitioner. This would indicate that petitioner has not made alternative arrangements despite grant of time. This would indicate that petitioner is not pursuing petition diligently. Hence, Petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. Sd/- (RAVI V HOSMANI) JUDGE HNM List No.: 1 Sl No.: 2
