There is no representation for the appellant/petitioner. This appeal though filed in 2004, remains in the defect list even now for the reason that steps have not been taken to issue notice in the application for condonation of delay. Notice was ordered in that application as early as on 19.2.2004. Steps have not been taken so far. There is no representation for the appellant. The conclusion appears to be inevitable that the appellant/petitioner is not interested in prosecuting this petition for condonation of delay and the Mat.Appeal. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed and the Mat.Appeal is rejected as barred by limitation. R.BASANT, JUDGE. M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE. dsn
