When the matter was last taken up on 15th January, 2026, since the service on the respondents was incomplete, the matter was adjourned. 2. Today, at the time of call, none appears on behalf of the parties. No accommodation has been sought for. 3. The writ petition has been filed, inter alia, praying for a direction upon the respondents to arrest the private respondent. 4. When the petitioner is unable to establish the factum of service on the private respondent, and since no affidavit of service has been filed, this Court is not inclined to retain the matter on the file. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed for non prosecution. (Raja Basu Chowdhury, J.)
