(C) NO. 38486 OF 2022, the Court addressed the issue of the petitioner's absence during the hearings. The petitioner had initiated a writ petition against various respondents related to administrative actions concerning land and property disputes. The court found no valid excuse for the absence and dismissed the petition for default. The petitioner was represented by several advocates, indicating a proactive defense. Ultimately, the court ruled to dismiss the writ petition due to the non-appearance of the petitioner. The dismissal reflects the court's procedural discretion when parties fail to participate appropriately.

In view of the above, the Writ Petition is dismissed for default.
