On 1.8.2008 this Court accommodated the petitioners on the submission that Sri S.Satyanarayana Prasad, Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners was unwell. Today when the matters are called, Sri Venkateswarlu, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners would submit the petitioners are outside the country and further time be granted. The writ petitions relate to the year 1998 and, on account of non-appearance, have been listed for dismissal. I see no reason to grant further adjournment. On being asked whether he would proceed with the matter, the Learned Counsel expressed unwillingness. The writ petitions are dismissed for non-prosecution. No order as costs. ___________ 7-8-2008 asp
