By the order dated 22.07.2013, this Court had ordered for issuance of notice to the respondent. Even after the lapse of two years, no steps are taken to issue notice to the respondents, by furnishing requisite process fee. This is a matter of 2013. This would indicate that the appellant is not evincing interest in prosecuting the appeal. Hence the appeal is dismissed for non-prosecution. Sd/- JUDGE VR
