Even today, when the matter is called, there is no representation for the petitioners. It is therefore reasonable to presume that the petitioners are not interested in pursuing their cause in the writ petition. The writ petition is therefore dismissed for non-prosecution. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition for non-prosecution, WPMP.No.17195 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is also dismissed. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 25.01.2011 ES
