Hence, learned counsel sought time to file memo of retirement. 2. This matter was earlier listed on 04.03.2025, and the learned counsel for the appellant had undertaken to file a memo for retirement. The matter has now come up with an office note indicating that the appellant has not filed the memo nor taken any steps to prosecute the appeal. Despite sufficient time being granted, no action has been taken by the appellant counsel and he has not filed memo for retirement. 3. Further, it is noticed that the appellant after taking NOC from the learned counsel has not engaged the services of another counsel. It appears that the appellant is not interested in prosecuting the appeal. - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC-D:1273 MFA No. 103953 of 2016 4. In view of the above, the appeal is dismissed for non-prosecution. Sd/- (DR.K.MANMADHA RAO) JUDGE MBS, CT:VP LIST NO.: 1 SL NO.: 9
