What did the court decide?
The Regular Second Appeal is dismissed for non-prosecution, as ordered earlier, because learned counsel for the appellants did not appear on the hearing date or the previous occasion, and failed to pursue the matter diligently despite being called twice and expressly warned that the appeal would be dismissed on further non-appearance.
