ORDER
Date : 05-05-2026 None appears for the petitioners on call. Ms. M. D. Borah, learned Standing Counsel, Transport Department and Mr. H. K. Hazarika, learned Government Advocate for respondent Nos. 4 & 5, are present. The matters pertain to a decision to discontinue the petitioners, who are an association of bus owners, from being allowed a bus stoppage near the PWD Office, Dibrugarh. The petitioners remain unrepresented despite the matters being pending since 2012 and having subsequently filed another writ petition in the year 2016. Considering the above, it appears that the petitioners are no longer interested in pursuing the matter and at the same time, the issue involved is a trivial one. Accordingly, the writ petitions stand dismissed for non- prosecution.
