WA No.100028 of 2022
JUDGMENT
There is no representation for the appellants. Even on earlier occasions, i.e., on 13.03.2024 and 30.05.2024, none appeared for the appellants. It appears that the appellants have no interest in prosecuting the matter.
2. Lands of the petitioners were acquired on 28.06.1964 and the consequent award was passed on 29.10.1967. The present writ petition was filed in the year 2017 praying to quash the award dated 29.10.1967. There is more than 50 years delay in approaching this Court. Be that as it may, as there is no representation for the appellants continuously, the appeal stands dismissed for non-prosecution.
