                                                       JUDGMENT

[Judgment of Court was delivered by PUSHPA SATHYANARAYANA, J.]

Earlier when the erstwhile learned counsel for the appellant reported

'no instructions', the Division Bench, by order dated 26.03.2013 directed the

Registry to issue notice to the appellant. Accordingly, notice was issued

and the name of the appellant was printed in the cause list. However, none

appeared on behalf of the appellant, when the matter was listed on

24.01.2018. Once again, when the matter was listed on 01.07.2021, there

was no representation on behalf of the appellant. Hence, the Registry was

directed to print the name of the appellant in the cause list as "Appellant in

Person" and post the matter on 06.07.2021 under the caption "for

dismissal". Even today (06.07.2021), when the matter is called, though the

name of the appellant is printed in the cause list, there is no representation

on behalf of the appellant either in person or through counsel. Hence, the

Writ Appeal is dismissed for 'non prosecution'. It is open to the appellant to

take out an application for restoration of the appeal, if he is so advised. No

costs.
