On the last occasion, the learned counsel for the Appellant submits that he could not get instructions from the Appellant. 3. The Proceeding Sheets reveals that Complainant/Appellant could not serve the notice on the Respondent No.2/Accused for all these years. The Appellant could not pursue the Appeal. Thus, this Court could not decide the Appeal on the impugned order in the absence of service of notice on the Respondent No.2/Accused. When the Appellant even could not serve notice on the Respondent No.2/Accused in the Appeal for all these years despite many opportunities, the Appeal is not only liable to be dismissed for non- prosecution by invoking inherent powers but also to be held that the Appellant contributed to the long pendency of the Appeal for all these years without due prosecution. Thus, the Appeal is dismissed for non-prosecution. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed. ____________________________ JUSTICE ALAPATI GIRIDHAR Dt: 25.08.2026 JKS 3 31 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ALAPATI GIRIDHAR CRIMINAL APPEAL NO: 1133/2009 25.08.2026 JKS
