PALSHIKAR & V.G. PALSHIKAR & V.G. PALSHIKAR & SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, JJ. SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, JJ. SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, JJ. DATED: FEBRUARY 15, 2005 FEBRUARY 15, 2005 FEBRUARY 15, 2005 . This is the Letters Patent Appeal of the year 1999. In order to seek immediate disposal of the pending cases, hearing of the Appeals pending before this Court was spread over two benches and this bench was entrusted the duty to dispose of the Appeals upto 30.11.2004. Such an arrangement was made for urgent disposal of the Appeals which are pending for years. However, it is noticed that most of the Appeals are not being worked out either on account of failure of the counsel for the Appellant to appear or for addition : 2 : of pleadings. 2. In any event in this case today when this matter was called out, none appeared for the Appellant nor was mentioned on behalf of the appellant by anyone. We had, therefore, no option but to dismiss it for want of prosecution. 3. In the event the Appellant makes an application for restoration of the Appeal, apart from stating the reasons for absence at the time when the matter was called out, the Appellant should also state the manner in which or the reasons for which according to him, the Appeal even now survives. 4. The Appeal is, accordingly, dismissed for want of prosecution.
