No one is present on behalf of the Appellant. The order dated 16.07.2026 records that learned Advocate Mr. Soni has returned back the papers and given no objection to the Appellant. 2. Under these circumstances, the Appellant was required to make alternate arrangements and to prosecute his appeal. It seems that he has lost interest. Hence appeal is disposed of for non-prosecution. 3. If he will apply for restoration, the Court will consider it on merits. [S. M.
