The defect is that, the petitioner has not taken steps to serve notice on the 3rd respondent by special messenger as directed by this court as early as on 13.10.2009. The matter again came up before the court on 19.10.2009 and this court granted time to take steps. Even then the petitioner did not take steps. The matter was posted before the Registrar (Judicial) for defects on 04.02.2011, on which date there was no representation for the petitioner. That is why the matter is posted in the defects list today. When the matter was taken up, the counsel for the petitioner again seeks time. I am not inclined to grant any further time. Accordingly the writ petition is dismissed for non- prosecution. Sd/- S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE //True copy// shg/ P.A. TO JUDGE
