Cr.MP(M) No.470 of 2003 17.3.2010 Present: Mr.Vivek Singh Thakur, Addl.A.G with Mr.R.M.Bisht, Dy.A.G for the appellant-State. In this petition for leave to appeal, notices were first issued to the respondent on 1.5.2003. The notices could not be served upon him since the respondent is an Iranian National and has left the country. Despite various attempts, the respondent could not be served and even the address furnished by the State was found to be incorrect as per the communication received from the First Secretary (Cons. & Pol) Embassy of India Tehran. Thereafter, also notices were issued but the respondent could not be served. The appeal has not been admitted till date. The State is not in a position to furnish the fresh address of the respondent and does not know the whereabouts of the respondent. More than three years have elapsed but the State has not taken any steps for the service of the respondent. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed for non- prosecution.
