Therefore, the case was adjourned for today to be posted under the caption ‘for Dismissal’. Even today, when the case appeared under the said caption, no one represented the petitioner. Hence, it is reasonable to presume that the petitioner is not interested in pursuing his cause in the writ petition. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed in default. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition in default, WPMP.No.43842 of 1998 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 22nd DECEMBER, 2008. kvni
