This petition for police protection filed as early as on 12.01.2009 remains without disposal even now. When the matter came up for hearing on 24.02.2011, it was reported that the matter has been settled. Time was prayed for till this date to report formal settlement. Today when the case is called, there is no representation for the petitioner. Inference is irresistible that the petitioner is not interested in prosecuting this petition now. 2. This Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed for non prosecution.

The petitioner is represented by a counsel. The other respondents are not represented. This petition, though filed as early as on 12.01.2009, remains in the defect list even now for the reason that the 8th respondent has not been served. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the parties are in the process of settlement of their outstanding disputes and if time is granted till 21.02.2011, it may not be necessary to press this Writ Petition. 2. We accept the request of the learned counsel for the petitioner and post the case to 21.02.2011. But we make it clear that if the petitioner wants to prosecute this petition, the petitioner must take the necessary steps to effect service on the 8th respondent within a period of 10 days from this date. If steps are taken, issue notice, verify service and put up on 21.02.2011. If steps are not taken, call on 21.02.2011 for final disposal. 3 (R.BASANT, JUDGE) (K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE) rtr/
