JUDGMENT

Dated this the 23^rd day of February, 2026

1. When this matter came up for consideration on

31.10.2025, the learned Counsel for the additional Respondents submitted that the Respondent Nos.4 and 5 are non-existing persons and that is why service could not be completed against them, and this Court directed the Petitioner to take out notice by paper publication against Respondent Nos.4 and 5. Thereafter, the matter came up on 10.12.2025, and it was adjourned. Even now, no Application for taking paper publication against Respondent Nos. 4 and 5 is filed by the Petitioner. It is seen that the Writ Petition is of the year 2012.

2. The learned Counsel for the Petitioner submitted that even though the Order dated 31.10.2025 was communicated to the Petitioner, the Petitioner has not responded. In such a case, the Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed for non-prosecution.

3. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed for non-

prosecution.
