JUSTICE JAYANT BANERJI) This matter is listed for dismissal in view of the fact that when the matter was previously listed on 02.03.2026, no one appeared for the appellant despite the matter being called out twice. 2. Today, learned Counsel for the appellant is present who states that a memo for retirement has been filed by him on 12.01.2026. Such a memo cannot be allowed at this stage given the fact that the appellant is not responding as is reflected in the memo itself. 3. In view of the aforesaid, we dismiss the appeal for non-prosecution inasmuch as the learned Counsel for the appellant has no instructions in the matter.
