S.D. Anand, J.
On 05.07.2006, the learned counsel appearing on
behalf of the appellant had informed the Court that, as per
the information, appellant – Mahal Singh had died. He had
requested adjournment to verify the facts in the relevant
behalf. That presentation had been made in the presence of
the learned counsel for the respondent. On 30.03.2009, this
Court afforded another adjournment to the learned counsel
for the appellant to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of
the averment to the above effect.
FAO No. M-182 of 1999 2
The learned counsel informs that no
postal/contact address of the appellant is available with him
and further states that, in the absence of any telephone
number, he is not in a position to establish telephonic
contact with the appellant. He further informs that the
numbers available with him have since been changed. In
that context, he avers that the appeal had been filed in the
year 1999. The learned counsel very fairly states that he
cannot accordingly claim to have instructions to prosecute
this appeal.
In the light thereof, the appeal is dismissed in
default and for want of prosecution.
