O R D E R
(Order of the Court was made by N.DILIP KUMAR, J.)
Though the matter has been listed under the caption "for dismissal", there is no representation on behalf of the petitioner when the matter is called today. It appears that the petitioner is not interested in prosecuting the writ petition. No useful purpose would be served in keeping the writ petition pending indefinitely.
2. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed for non-prosecution.
No costs.
