In this appeal under Section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act, the High Court dismissed the appeal for non-prosecution as appellants failed to appear despite two summons. The matter was also treated under 'For Dismissal' captions without revenue department appearance.
First Appeal 'A.S.No.492 of 2013' stands dismissed for non-prosecution; no order as to costs.

J U D G M E N T
The Appeal Suit was listed for hearing on 03.12.2019 and none appeared for the appellants. Thus, the case was listed under the caption 'For Dismissal' on 04.12.2019. Again, when the matter was called on 04.12.2019, there was no appearance on behalf of the appellants. Thus, in order to give a further opportunity, the appeal is directed to be listed under the same caption 'For Dismissal' on 05.12.2019. When the case is taken up for hearing today, no one appeared on behalf of the appellants. In spite of the opportunities given twice, the appellants are not interested in pursuing the appeal suit.
