CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAMESH CHAND MALVIYA ORAL ORDER

¶54

90 23-04-2026 Nobody appears on behalf of both the parties.

¶55

From perusal of the Office notes dated 24.04.2026,

¶56

it appears that the appellants have not complied with the

¶57

Patna High Court FA No.154 of 1977(90) dt.23-04-2026 4/4

¶58

Court’s order dated 05.02.2026.

¶59

On perusal of the records, it also appears that this First Appeal is of the year 1977 and even today, on repeated calls, nobody appears on behalf of the appellants to press this application, so the appellants have lost their interest to contest the present First Appeal No. 154 of 1977.

¶60

Accordingly, the present First Appeal No. 154 of 1977 is dismissed for default under Order XLI Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
