Today, the matter is listed for non-compliance of office objections for fourth time. However, learned counsel for the appellant remained absent. Office objections are not complied in spite of sufficient time having been given for compliance of office objections. It appears that the learned counsel for the appellant is not interested to proceed with the case. Therefore, it is appropriate to dismiss the Criminal Appeal for non-compliance of office objections. 2. Accordingly, the Criminal Appeal stands dismissed for non-compliance of office objections.
