2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner.

3. At the hearing, it is found that the respondent-Sasikala is absent despite she having been served in person. Earlier, it appears one Advocate's name M/s.M.Rajendran and others for the respondent, was printed in the cause list; but no Advocate appears to have filed any vakalat. Today, the name of such advocates viz., M/s.M.Rajendran and Venkatesan representing the respondent, by way of abundant caution have been printed as the ones appearing for the respondent along with the name of the party-Sasikala in the cause list and she is absent and the Advocates also are absent. Hence, as requested by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the matter has been taken up for hearing.
