1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.2742/1997. Rakesh Chand Vs. State of Rajasthan & Anr. Date of Order :: 3rd September 2009. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH MAHESHWARI None present. ... BY THE COURT: Nobody has appeared for either of the parties despite waiting for long. The record has been examined and being a redundant matter, there does not appear any reason to keep this writ petition pending. This writ petition was filed on 04.07.1997 challenging the order dated 08.08.1995 (Annex.1) whereby the respondents put a prohibition on purchase of goods from the petitioner firm for a period of 10 years. The petitioner asserted that no any opportunity of hearing was given before passing such an adverse order. On 23.07.1997, this Court though issued show cause notices in the writ petition but so far the prayer for interim relief was concerned, specifically declined the same and rejected the stay petition. 2 The fact of the matter is that even the period of 10 years as stated in the impugned order dated 08.08.1995 is already over and for all these years this writ petition has remained pending without any interim order in favour of the petitioner. The aforesaid circumstances while definitely show that the writ petition is rendered redundant particularly with efflux of time, it also appears that the petitioner has lost interest in prosecuting this writ petition. There appears no reason to continue with this writ petition any further. The writ petition stands dismissed. (DINESH MAHESHWARI), J. //Mohan//
