Appeal No.563 of 2000 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 10th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT Despite direction to take out substitute service to R5, appellant has not taken any steps for the last three months. It is seen that even earlier also despite direction to take out steps in correct address steps were being taken in the selfsame address and it was in such circumstances that this Court ordered substitute service being taken as against the fifth respondent. Today, though this case is posted in the defect list, nobody has turned up to represent the matter and the counsel and the appellant are also absent. In the result, I dismiss this Criminal Appeal.
