State of Haryana and others ’ whereby the defence of the defendants/petitioners has been struck off due to non-filing of the written statement and order dated 25.02.2022 (Annexure P-1) whereby the application filed by the petitioners/defendants for recalling the order dated 10.01.2020 has also been dismissed.
