When the case is listed and called out, the advocate must be present. The absence may affect the case. As could be seen from the daily order sheet, the appeal was listed before the Registrar (P & H) and also before the Court and time was granted to comply with the office objections. Thereafter, the appeal was listed on 07.01.2025, on that day, there was no representation on behalf of the appellants, either personally or through video conferencing. However, in the interest of justice, finally, a week's time was granted to comply with the office objections, failing which the appeal was ordered to be listed under the caption 'for dismissal of appeal for non-compliance of office objections' and also for appearance of counsel for the appellants on 21.01.2025. The appeal is listed today under the caption 'for dismissal of appeal for non-compliance of office objections' and also for appearance of counsel for the appellants. Despite granting sufficient time, the office objections are not complied with. As already noted above, when the case is called, the appellants - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:2455 RFA No. 407 of 2023 are not represented. It appears that the appellants are not interested in prosecuting the appeal. Hence, the Regular First Appeal is dismissed for non-prosecution and also non- compliance of office objections.
