This appeal is filed by the injured claimant for enhancement of compensation but the appellant has not turned up. Court notice is issued to the appellant and the same returned with an endorsement 'appellants not found, left the address'. Even after issuance of notice, he could not be traced and thus, no purpose will be served in continuing the appeal as he failed in prosecuting the appeal for enhancement of compensation, with the diligence. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for non- prosecution. Sd/- (P SREE SUDHA) JUDGE PSJ List No.: 2 Sl No.: 1
