ORDER:
Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is not in contact with him and that he needs to obtain instructions to ascertain whether the cause still survives.
2. This Court is not inclined to grant any adjournment, as there was no representation on many occasions. If the petitioner had any intention to prosecute the writ petition, she would definitely have been in contact with her learned counsel. Since she is not in contact with her learned counsel, it clearly indicates that she has no interest in prosecuting the writ petition.
3. In view of the above, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. However, if the petitioner still feels that the cause survives, an appropriate application may be filed within a period of two (02) months. There shall be no order as to costs.
As a sequel, miscellaneous applications, pending if any, shall stand closed. _____________________________
