A learned Judge of this Court earlier held that without the licencee on record, this original petition cannot be proceeded with. Accordingly, by order dated, 28.11.2007, this Court directed the petitioner to implead the licencee also. No steps were taken in that regard. On 29.8.2008, another learned Judge of this Court again directed the petitioner to immediately implead the licencee. Even thereafter, no steps were taken. In the above circumstances, this original petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
