BALI, C.J. & S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------- W.A.No.317 of 2004 & C.M.Appln. No.347 of 2004 ------------------------------- Dated, this the 20th day of November, 2006 JUDGMENT V.K.Bali,C.J.(Oral) There is delay of 214 days in filing the writ appeal. The appeal has been filed against the judgment dated 30th May, 2003 in O.P.No.11723 of 2003-U. No one has put in appearance in support of the appeal or the application. We have gone through the records of the case as also the judgment passed by the learned Single Judge which has been impugned in the present writ appeal. Prima facie, it appears that there is no merit either in the appeal or in the application in which no sufficient reasons have been given for delay. However, as no one has chosen to appear, both the writ appeal and the application are dismissed for default. V.K. BALI, CHIEF JUSTICE. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE. vns
