Issue emergent notice to respondent No.4. Interim order as prayed for is granted till next date of hearing. This interim order shall take effect after petitioner serves two sets of copies of petition and files acknowledgement in the Registry, otherwise not.” It was incumbent upon the learned counsel for the petitioner to ensure copies are served and acknowledgement filed as directed. The office note states that no acknowledgement is filed, and none appears for the petitioner. There is definite lack of interest to prosecute the petition. Hence, the petition is rejected.
