- None appears for the appellant.
- This appeal was admitted way back in 2002 and on 8th September 2005 the sentence was suspended. From the memo of parties, it is seen that the Appellant has his permanent address in Farukkabad, U.P.
- The police officer from PS Ambedkar Nagar is not in a position to inform whether the Appellant is available at the given address.
- The present appeal has been shown on the regular board of this Court for well over two months now. If notices are now sent to the Appellant for his appearance in Court, it would in all probability not be served and there will have to be a indefinite wait for that to happen. The better course that commends itself to the Court is that this appeal be dismissed in default with
