On 25.11.2009, as no one represented the petitioner, this Court directed the registry to serve notice on the petitioner. The record placed before the Court shows that the registry served notice on the petitioner and acknowledgement showing proof of receipt of notice by the petitioner on 09.12.2009 is filed by the registry. In spite of service of notice, neither the petitioner is present nor any one represented on his behalf. In view of the same, the writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition for non-prosecution, WPMP.No.17772 of 2002 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also dismissed. _____________________________ C.V.
