ORDER
Date : 03.08.2022.
(M.R. Pathak, J) No representation on behalf of the petitioner on call, though names of 4(four) counsels have been reflected in the cause list.
Heard Ms. L. Devi, learned Standing counsel, NRC for the opposite party No. 1; Mr. J. Payeng, learned Standing counsel, Foreigners' Tribunal for the opposite party Nos. 2, 3, 6 and 7 as well as Ms. U. Das, learned Government Advocate for the opposite party Nos. 4 and 5.
This writ petition was filed by the petitioner against the impugned judgment and order dated 29.12.2015 passed by the learned Member, Foreigners' Tribunal, Nagaon, Court No. 10 at Doboka, Nagaon in F.T.(D) case No. 01/2015, whereby the learned Tribunal opined that the petitioner entered into the territory of India(Assam) after 25.03.1971.
The order sheets reveal that the petitioner remained unrepresented consecutively on last 3(three) occasions i.e. today - 03.08.2022 and on 25.07.2022 and 21.05.2019. In the order dated 21.05.2019, the Court observed as follows :
Page No.# 3/3
"None for the petitioner appeared when the matter called out. Be that as it may, the matter to remain in the Part-II list.
We make it clear that as and when the matter as called out again and if the petitioner is not represented, this Court would be constrained to dismiss this petitioner for non-prosecution."
Since the petitioner remained unrepresented continuously on three occasions, as noted above, this writ petition stands dismissed for non-prosecution.
The interim order passed earlier on 17.11.2016 stands vacated/recalled.
The Registry shall return the LCR forthwith to the Foreigners' Tribunal, Nagaon, Court No. 10 at Doboka, Nagaon.
The Registry shall inform the Superintendent of Police (Border), Nagaon, Assam as well as Superintendent of Police (Border), Hojai, Assam about this order forthwith.
