No.4909/2021 petitioner has not contacted the respondents for any settlement. 5. I am not convinced by the request and submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner. This Court requested the learned counsel to argue the matter; however, learned counsel was not ready to argue the matter. In the circumstances, it appears that the petitioner is not interested in prosecuting the petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed for non- prosecution. Sd/- (VIJAYKUMAR A.
