THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO A.S.No.708 of 2000 JUDGMENT Yesterday, this appeal of the year 2000 was listed for hearing. Sri C. Subba Rao, learned counsel for the appellant, stated that though he has filed vakalat earlier on behalf of the appellant-the Andhra Pradesh Housing Board, the appellant has since appointed another Standing counsel for itself and has also taken away the appeal bundle and that he no longer represents the appellant. There is no representation on behalf of the appellant and no one has filed vakalat on its behalf. Since the appellant has chosen to be represented by the counsel, who has filed vakalat, and since it has changed its counsel as stated by Sri C. Subbarao, it is the obligation of the appellant to be effectively represented, particularly as an instrumentality of the State. We find no such litigative diligence. In the circumstances, the appeal is dismissed for default. No costs. ___________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J _______________________ N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO, J Date:07.12.2010 sj
