JUDGMENT
Shaffique, J.
This appeal was filed as early as on 17/10/2012 with a
petition to condone delay of 38 days in filing the appeal. Notice was ordered in the delay petition as well as notice on admission was ordered in the appeal on 3/1/2013. So far, no steps had been taken by the counsel appearing for the appellant. Today, when the case is taken up, learned counsel for the appellant seeks time. We do not think that any indulgence need be shown. This matter had been pending since last more than 6 years and when no attempt is made to prosecute the matter, there is no reason to show any further indulgence.
The application to condone delay and the Mat.appeal are therefore dismissed for non prosecution. A.M.SHAFFIQUE JUDGE N.ANIL KUMAR Rp //True Copy// JUDGE PS to Judge
