On 17.7.2008 this Appeal was adjourned to 24.7.2008 to enable the learned Advocate for the Appellant to file vakalatnama and to serve the Respondent. Again on 24.7.2008 two weeks time was granted and the Appeal came to be adjourned to 7.8.2008. 2. Even on 7.8.2008 the vakalatnama was not filed and the Respondents were not served, and hence we had adjourned this Appeal to 14.8.2008. Though on 7.8.2008 it was assured by Mr.Vaishampayan that the Respondents would be served within a period of one week from that day, till today the vakalatnama has not been filed on behalf of the Appellant, and no steps whatsoever have been taken by the Appellant to serve the Respondents. Mr.Vaishampayan is unable to point out as to what steps Appellant has taken to serve the Respondents. Hence, in view of utter callousness on the part of the Appellant, the Appeal stands dismissed.
