The appeal was dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
The Deputy General Manager of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd filed a first appeal (Civil Application for Condonation of Delay) against Chhaganbhai Becharbhai. The appeal was listed multiple times, but the applicant's counsel, AmiraJ R. Barot, failed to appear when the matter was called out. The court inferred that the applicant was no longer interested in prosecuting the appeal. Consequently, the court dismissed the appeal for want of prosecution and ordered that the registration of the first appeal be refused. The appeal was therefore disposed of and does not survive.
