( 1 ) AFTER admission of present revision application on 8. 9. 1999 and order dated 9. 9. 1999 to release the petitioner on bail, the petition does not appear to have once been attended either by the petitioner or his learned advocate. Lastly, on 7. 3. 2007, order, as under, was passed:

"none present for petitioner even as the matter was called out thrice. S. O. to 09. 3. 2007 in the interest of justice. Matter may be heard and disposed on that date, even if learned advocate does not care to appear in the matter. "

The hearing has twice been adjourned even thereafter and, today, the matter was called out twice during the course of the day, but no one was present on behalf of the petitioner.
