ORAL JUDGMENT

¶53

(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JAYANT BANERJI)

¶54

When the matter was last listed, the following order

¶55

was passed :

¶56

“Smt. Latha Shetty, whose name appears for the appellants, seeks time to file the vakalathnama.

¶57

As a final chance, the learned counsel for the appellants is granted two weeks’ time to do the needful.

¶58

List this appeal on 16.06.2026 with the understanding that the case will not be adjourned when it is listed next.”

¶59

It appears that a Vakalathnama has been filed on

¶60

behalf of the appellant No.1 alone. An adjournment is being sought on the ground that the appellant No.2 is residing abroad.

¶61

Be that as it may, in view of the previous order of the Court and since the learned counsel for the appellant has filed Vakalathnama in respect of the appellant No.1, we decline the plea for an adjournment and asked the learned counsel who is appearing online to proceed with the arguments.

¶62

¶65

At this stage, he again seeks an adjournment, which we are not inclined to grant. This matter has been pending since 2010. This appeal is therefore dismissed for nonprosecution. This order has been passed in the presence of the learned counsel appearing for the respondents.
