Supreme Court dismissed appeals for non-prosecution in 2016 (11) TMI 342 - SC.

"No one is present on behalf of the appellant." The court recorded the absence of any representative for the appellant and, by order, "The appeals are dismissed for non-prosecution." The disposition is a procedural sanction terminating the appeals for want of prosecution. As a consequence, the appeals stand dismissed on the record; the operative phrase of the order-"dismissed for non-prosecution"-is the controlling ground. Although the short order contains no extended reasoning, such orders ordinarily reflect the court's power to dismiss proceedings where a party fails to prosecute, subject to the availability of procedural remedies (e.g., applications for restoration/reinstatement on showing sufficient cause and compliance with procedural requirements). The document contains only the administrative finding of non-appearance and the resultant dismissal.
