JUSTICE MICHAEL ZOTHANKHUMA HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJAN MONI KALITA ORDER Date : 24/08/2026 (Michael Zothankhuma, J) 1. No one appears for the appellants. Mr. T.J. Mahanta, learned senior counsel appears for the respondent no. 3. He submits that the appellants have not been represented on the last 3 (three) consecutive dates. 2. On perusing the orders passed by this Court, we find that the earlier counsel had given a “No Objection Certificate” to the appellants to engage new counsels, whereupon he had asked for deletion of his name as a counsel representing the appellants, which is reflected in the order dated 19/11/2025. 3. Subsequent to the above order dated 19/11/2025, no one has appeared for the appellants. Thereafter, the case had been listed 4(four) times and today is the 5th time, the case has been listed, wherein there is no representation for the appellants. 4. On 02/03/2026, this Court had recorded as follows :- “It appears that at the request of the learned counsel for the appellants, his name was expunged from the list of Advocates appearing in the matter. However, we find that no lawyer has filed Vakalatnama uptil now to represent the appellants. In order to enable the appellants to be represented through an Advocate, the matter is Page No.# 8/8 adjourned to 27.03.2026.” 5. On 27/03/2026, the following order was passed :- “Giving one more opportunity to the appellants to engage an Advocate, as the earlier Advocate on record has recused himself from appearing in the matter, the case is adjourned to 08.06.2026.” 6. On the last date, i.e. 08/06/2026, the matter had been adjourned. 7. On considering the above facts, we are of the view that the appellants are not interested in pursuing the matter. The appeal is accordingly dismissed for non-prosecution. JUDGE JUDGE Comparing Assistant
