The appeal is dismissed in default for want of prosecution because the appellants are not interested in pursuing it: nobody appeared for them on the date of hearing (as on earlier dates), and the orders dated 16.05.2025 and 24.07.2025 were not complied with despite last opportunity having been granted. ¶17
