The matter was posted before the Registrar (Judicial) on 22.3.2010, on which date the petitioner requested for one week's time to cure the defect. Time was granted. This writ petition is posted in the defect list today since the petitioner did not take any steps for curing the defect even thereafter. When the matter was taken up today, none appears for the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed for non- prosecution. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
