The petitioner has sought directions to the respondents to

promote the petitioner against the post of Superintendent E/M Grade - I

retrospectively from the date of promotions to his other fellow beings and

has also sought quashing of order dated 6th October, 1998. The petitioner

has also sought directions to reserve one post for the petitioner in case the

DPC is not held and if promotions are made in the interest of smooth

running of the work of the department.

No one had been appearing on behalf of the parties and

consequently the notices were issued to the parties by order dated 8 th

August, 2011.

Pursuant to the court notice issued to the counsel for the

petitioner, Mr. V.K.Malhotra, is present and he states that the petitioner had

taken away the brief from him. He further states that he has written to the

petitioner, however, he has not got any instructions from the petitioner.

The learned counsel contends that since he does not have any instructions,

he cannot argue the matter and is unable to make any submissions.

In the circumstances, this Court is left with no option but to

dismiss the writ petition for non-prosecution.

The writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution.
