[2] Minute No.2 dated 31 October 2017 advised the applicant that if the procedural difficulties were not corrected by 15 December 2017 the application would be dismissed for non-prosecution and as being procedurally incapable of being adjudicated upon.

[4] The application is accordingly dismissed for non-prosecution and as being procedurally incapable of being adjudicated upon.
