However, to afford one more opportunity finally a week’s time is granted to comply with office objections.” The matter is listed today for compliance of office objections for the fifth time. Inspite of granting sufficient opportunities, learned counsel for the appellant has not complied the office objections. It appears that the appellant is not interested in prosecuting the appeal. Hence, the appeal is dismissed for non compliance of office objections. Sd/- (SHIVASHANKAR AMARANNAVAR) JUDGE GH List No.: 1 Sl No.: 19
