Counsel: V.S. Saxena for appellant; K.G. Srivastava for respondent. Coram: Vivek Agarwal, J. Order dated 17.1.2020. Office directed to return lower court record to the court below within fifteen days.
What did the court decide?
The appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution: nobody appeared for the appellant even when the list was revised, and the appellant, whose appeal has been pending since 1979, appears to have lost interest in pursuing it. ¶6
