ORDER
This writ petition was listed before me on 05.10.2026. Noticing that the petitioner had repeatedly taken adjournments, this Court imposed a cost of Rs. 5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand only) to be paid by the petitioner to the Legal Services Authority on or before 12th October 2026. Thereafter, the case was listed again before me on 13th October 2026. There was no representation on the side of the petitioner on that day. Again, the case was adjourned to 15.10.2026,
2. The matter was taken up today i.e., 15.10.2026. Even today there was no representation for the petitioner, when the case was taken up in the forenoon session. I paused over the matter and it was again taken up in the afternoon session. Even now, there is no representation for the petitioner and it is informed across the bar by the learned counsel for the respondents, that the cost is also not paid so far.
WP(MD) No. 5236 of 2018
3. Since it is evident, that the writ petitioner is not willing to prosecute the case, left with no other alternative, I dismiss the writ petitions for non-prosecution and for non-compliance of the condition imposed by this Court towards payment of cost.
4. These writ petitions are dismissed for non-prosecution and consequently connected miscellaneous petitions are also closed. 15-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No psa To
