RSA-1767-1997 (O&M) -:1:- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH (203) RSA-1767-1997 (O&M) Date of Decision:-20.02.2026 HUKAM CHAND … Appellant Versus SEWA RAM AND OTHERS ... Respondens **** CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIRINDER AGGARWAL Present:- Mr. C.L.Sharma, Advocate for the appellant. None for respondent. **** VIRINDER AGGARWAL , J . (Oral) 1. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant submits that, despite repeated and bona fide efforts, no communication has been received on behalf of the appellant. The complete and correct address of the appellant is not available on the record of this Court, thereby rendering it impracticable to secure his presence. In such circumstances, it is contended that no efficacious course remains open except to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. 2. Having considered the submission and the prevailing factual matrix, this Court finds no justifiable ground to keep the appeal pending on the docket indefinitely in the absence of any effective prosecution. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed for non-prosecution. However, liberty is reserved to the appellant to seek revival of the appeal, GAURAV SOROT 2026.02.20 18:22 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document RSA-1767-1997 (O&M) -:2:- if so advised, within a period of three months from today, subject to showing sufficient cause. 3.
