THIS REGULAR FIRST APPEAL COMING
ON FOR ORDERS THROUGH VIDEO CONFERENCING /
PHYSICAL HEARING THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE
FOLLOWING:
ORDER
None appear for the appellant either physically or through video conference.
2. A perusal of the order sheet would go to show that in this appeal of the year 2018, in spite of granting several and sufficient opportunities of not less than eight RFA No. 406/2018 3 times including final chance and last opportunity, the appellant has not complied the office objections. Even in his absence also, several times the Court has granted time to comply the office objection. The time as a final chance, last chance, one again as a final chance were all granted to the appellant, though the learned counsel for the appellant had remained continuously absent in this appeal.
3. On 16.04.2021, observing that the appeal is of the year 2018, the office objections are not being complied, this Court had imposed a cost of `2,000/- payable to 'Karnataka Advocates Clerk's Benevolent Trust'. Despite the same, the appellant has neither complied the office objections nor paid the cost imposed. Even for his successive absence today, there is no reason forthcoming from the appellant. As such, it can be inferred that the appellant is neither interested in prosecuting the matter nor willing to comply the office objections. RFA No. 406/2018 4
4. In view of the above, the Appeal stands dismissed for non-compliance of office objections, as well for non-prosecution.
However, the beneficiary of the cost i.e., the Karnataka Advocates Clerks' Benevolent Trust, High Court Buildings, Bengaluru is at liberty to enforce the said order as a civil decree for its execution in the manner known to law before the competent Court.
Registry to transmit a copy of this order to the Karnataka Advocates Clerks' Benevolent Trust, High Court Buildings, Bengaluru, forthwith.
