Sreenath vs Roshna Mohanan

R. Basant, J.—The learned Counsel for the petitioner/appellant submits that the counsel has no instructions. The counsel is unable to state whether the matter has actually been settled. The counsel, in these circumstances, submits that appropriate orders may be passed.

There is a delay of 287 days in filing the Matrimonial Appeal. A petition for restitution of conjugal rights stood dismissed and the appeal is directed against that order. The respondent has sent a telegram to convey that the matter has been settled at the Delhi High Court Mediation Centre, as per the directions issued by the Supreme Court. The counsel for the petitioner/appellant was requested to take instructions. It is at this juncture that the counsel reports that he has no instructions.

We are satisfied that the petitioner/appellant is not interested in prosecuting the petition for condonation of delay and the Matrimonial Appeal.

The petition for condonation of delay and the Matrimonial Appeal are, in these circumstances, dismissed for non prosecution.
