The matter was admitted by this Court on 15-10-2004 ordering notice by speed post, making it clear that appointment of the 3rd respondent will be subject to the result of the Writ Petition. No steps have been taken so far to complete the service of notice to the concerned respondents. When the matter was posted before the Registry on 04-02-2011, one week's time was sought for, to take fresh steps, which is still to be taken even as on this date. It is also relevant to note that the respondent Company, against whom the direction is sought to be given, does no longer exists as the same having been taken over/merged with IOC, who has not been brought to the party array by the petitioner. This Court reasonably presumes that the petitioner is not interested in the case filed in the year 2004. The Writ Petition is dismissed for non- prosecution. vdv P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE
