NO. 24713 of 1997 O R D E R In this writ petition the petitioner sought for the following substantive relief. “…..Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue a writ or order or direction more especially in the nature of Mandamus declaring the action of respondents in making recovery proceedings of H.R.A. paid to them for the period July 1986 to April, 1996 under Circular Memo. No. 15265- A/132-PC, IV/96, dated 8-7-1997 on the consequential proceedings of the 2nd respondent dated 16.9.1997 as illegal, arbitrary, unjustified and violative of principles of Natural Justice.” On 15.03.2007 there was no representation for the petitioners when the matter was called. Even today when the matter is posted under the caption ‘for dismissal’, there is no representation for the petitioners. The learned counsel for the respondents is present. In view of the consistent absence of the learned counsel for the petitioners, it is reasonable to presume that the petitioner is not interested in pursuing the cause in the writ petition. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed for default. No order as to costs. __________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated: 21-03-2007 vp
