Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR WRIT PETITION No.25049 OF 2000 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice V.V.S. Rao) The writ petition is filed against the order of the Central Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad Bench, in O.A.No.824 of 1999 dated 31.03.2000. When the matter was called for hearing, having noticed that the counsel who filed Vakalat is no more, this Court ordered administrative notice. The notice was sent by the Registry. The postal cover returned with an endorsement “Adreessee left without intimation, whereabouts are not known”. Today, the matter is listed under the caption “for Orders of the Court”. In C.C. Alavi Haji v Palapetty Muhammed[1], it is held that when a postal cover by registered post is sent and the same is returned that the addressee left without intimation, it shall be deemed to have been served. Applying the said principle, it is held that the notice is properly served on the petitioner. As the petitioner is absent and none appears for him, the Writ Petition is dismissed for default/non-prosecution. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ (V.V.S.
