ORAL ORDER
Learned counsel for the respondent present. Learned counsel for the appellant absent. Learned counsel for the appellant was absent on 11.03.2024 and also on 31.07.2024. On 31.07.2024, this Court passed the following order: “No representation for the appellant, even in the afternoon session. As a last chance, list this matter next week. If the learned counsel for the appellant fails to address his arguments on the next date of hearing, necessary orders would be passed.”
2. Today, despite passing over the matter, learned counsel for the appellant is not present. There is no
representation on appellant’s side. It appears that the appellant is not interested in prosecuting the matter. Hence, the appeal is dismissed for non-prosecution.
