Learned counsel for the petitioner was also absent on the previous date of occasion and learned counsel appearing for the respondent made the submission that petitioner has not complied with the conditional order. Hence, this Court directed learned counsel for the petitioner to report compliance on the next date of hearing and also made it clear that, if the counsel fails to appear on the next date of hearing, the revision petitions will be dismissed. Inspite of this observation being made on the previous occasion, today also, there is no representation on behalf of the petitioner.

Having taken note of the fact that these revision petitions are filed against the judgment of conviction by the Trial Court and confirmation by the First Appellate Court and conditional order was not complied with and even not complied with the direction to execute the bond before the Trial Court in compliance of Section 436-A of Cr.P.C.
