This appeal filed in 2005 remains in the defect list even now for the reason that steps are not being taken for issue of notice to respondents 2 and 3 so far. When the matter was called before the Registrar (Judicial) to cure defects, there was representation and a week's time was sought on 28.8.2008 to cure the defects. In spite of that, steps have not been taken so far. There is no representation for the appellant or the 1st respondent when the matter came up. We assume that the appellant is not interested in prosecuting the appeal now. 2. This appeal is accordingly dismissed for non-prosecution. R. BASANT, JUDGE. M.C. HARI RANI, JUDGE. dsn
