apeal 528.10.

2/2 ordinarily I would not have disposed of a Criminal Appeal in the absence of the appellant, in the peculiar facts, rather than keeping the appeal pending, the same can be disposed of with a rider that if the appellant is interested in prosecuting the appeal in order to remove the stigma, he would be entitled to seek restoration.

6.

The appeal is dismissed in default, in the light of the peculiar circumstances, with liberty to the appellant to seek restoration within the next six months, if he is interested in prosecuting the appeal in order to wipe out the stigma or otherwise.
