                                  Date        :   19/08/2026

          PER COURT :
          1.   None for the appellant.


          2.   By order dated 22.07.2026, passed in both these appeals, we had
          made it clear that in the event the private paper book was not filed by
          the appellant, both the appeals would be dismissed.


          3.   Today, none appeared for the appellant in either of these appeals
          and the private paper books have also not been filed.             In the
          circumstances, it appears that the appellant is not interested in
          prosecuting these appeals.      Accordingly, both the appeals stand
          dismissed for want of steps.
