The defect is that the petitioner has not taken steps to take out notice to the respondents. Notice was ordered in this writ petition as early as on 29.10.2009. The petitioner has not taken any steps to issue notice. The defect was notified. Still the petitioner did not take steps to cure the defect. Therefore, the matter was posted before the Registrar (Judicial) on 19.3.2010. On that day, there was no representation before the Registrar (Judicial). That is why the matter is posted before this Court for defects today. When the matter was taken up today, none appears for the petitioner. The defect still subsists. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd
