Today Mr. S.P. Tripathi, who was the Advocate of the appellants on record, has appeared and submitted that long time back he has returned the brief to the appellants and with that has also given his no objection for the appellants to engage another lawyer. The records of the case do not suggest that the appellants have taken any step to engage another lawyer. At the same time, the appellants in person also did not appear on any of the days since 23rd June, 2008 and are also not appearing today. In the circumstances, proceeding on the basis that the appellants may not be interested to pursue this appeal any further, we dismiss the same for default. (BarinGhosh, J.) (J.N. Singh, J.) AAhmad 2
