(C) NO. 7619 OF 2026 concerning default in serving notice to the respondents. The court finds the petitioners did not take the necessary steps to issue the required notice before the specified deadline. Consequently, it dismisses the writ petition for default. The main issue was the failure to notify the 3rd respondent in a timely manner, indicating the court's emphasis on procedural compliance. Thus, the court ruled that the writ petition is dismissed for default as petitioners did not represent themselves or provide notice.
