Learned counsel for the petitioner has sought adjournment in these four cases of quashment so as to seek fresh instructions because according to him his clients have not contacted him for a long time.
It is a four years old matter. No justification has been made out for not seeking the instructions well in time. These petitions accordingly are dismissed for non-prosecution. However, if after establishing the contact with the clients the learned Advocate-on-Record feels that the subject-matter of these petitions is still alive, he may make an application for revival.
With these observations, these petitions are disposed of.
