Later, the Sessions Court had transferred this appeal to this Court by citing the judgment of the Hon'ble Full Bench, reported in 2020 3 MLJ (Crl.) 257.

5. Despite notice was served upon the appellant, he is not present before this Court and he is no longer interested in pursuing this appeal proceedings. Hence, this Criminal Appeal is dismissed for default. 17.07.2025 Index : Yes/No NCC : Yes/No.
