- 1 - VPH IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION No. 2496 OF 2000 S. K. Patel & Ors. .. Petitioners Vs. The Oil & Natural Gas Corpn. Ltd. & Ors. ..Respondents None for the Petitioners. Mr. Aziz Khan i/b Divya Shah Associates for Respondent Nos. 1 to 4. Mr. Ashok R. Varma, for respondent No.5. CORAM : D. D. SINHA & A. A. SAYED , JJ. DATED : MARCH 8, 2010. P.C. : . Initially Mr. A. S. Oka was representing the petitioners. However, at latter point of time he was elevated to the Bench of this Court. Thereafter notices were issued to the petitioners. The office note shows that petitioner Nos. 1 to 6, 12, 13, 15 to 18 are returned unserved with bailiff’s remark ‘not residing at given address’. So far as petitioner No. 7 is concerned, Court notice was served on his wife. So far as petitioner No. 8 is concerned, the Court notice could not be served since - 2 - he was not found at his residence. Similar is the situation for petitioner No.9, 10, 11, 14 & 19. It appears that the petitioners are neither personally present nor engaged services of any lawyer after their counsel Mr. A. S. Oka was elevated to the Bench of this Court, hence they might have lost interest in the litigation. Hence, writ petition is dismissed for want of prosecution. Sd/- [D. D. SINHA, J.] Sd/- [ A. A.
