On the previous date of hearing i.e.23.01.2026, there was no representation on behalf of the appellants. 3. Today, when the matter was called for hearing, there was again no representation on behalf of the appellants, which shows that the appellants are no longer interested in pursuing the appeal. 4.

Accordingly, the present appeal stands dismissed for want of prosecution. Sd/- (Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal) JUDGE Khatai
