When the matter is taken up for admission, none appears for the petitioner nor is there any representation made on his behalf. This writ petition is filed with a vague prayer, without any particulars, by simply stating that the action of the respondents in changing the direction of Nala from southern side to eastern side of the petitioner’s property is illegal, and by making the authorities of the Hyderabad Metro Water Works and Sewerage Board as party respondents. Sri V. Sudhakar Reddy, learned Standing Counsel, appearing for Hyderabad Metro Water Works and Sewerage Board, submits that the respondents are no way concerned with the ‘Nala’ in question and that they have not taken any steps either to construct or to change its direction. Be that as it may, as there is no representation on behalf of the petitioner, the writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. No order as to costs. _____________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J.
