THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION FIRST APPEAL NO. 48 OF 2024 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, Court's or Judge's order appearance, Court's Orders or directions and Registrar's orders --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : SHRI S. R. AGRAWAL REGISTRAR (JUDL -II) DATE : 25/07/2024 Adv. Shraddha Pawar i/by Adv. N.S. Patil present for the Appellant The notice issued to respondent No. 1 is returned unserved. Therefore, the above numbered First Appeal is listed on the board of registrar for three times for taking steps for service of notice upon unserved respondent No. 1. However, learned advocate for appellant has neither taken any steps nor supplied proper and correct address of respondent No. 1. In view of provisions under Chapter VII, Rule 6

(1) (e) of the Bombay High Court, Appellate Side Rules, 1960, Immediately after the expiry of the period prescribed under the foregoing sub-rule of this rule for taking the requisite steps for the issue of fresh notice or or supplying postal stamps to cover the postal and registration charges, the office shall place before the Registrar all such matters in which steps have not been taken for the issue of fresh notices or the postal stamps to cover the postal and registration charges have not been supplied within the prescribed time, and the Registrar shall dismiss the matter for failure to prosecute.:

As such, the prescribed time to take steps for service of notice upon unserved respondent No. 1 as provided under Rule 1960 has been expired. 05 weeks time was granted, but all in vain. The matter is lying ideally without any progress due to not taken any steps. However, instead of passing order of dismissal outrightly, it would be just and proper to give one more opportunity to take steps for service of notice upon unserved respondent No. 1.

In turn, three weeks time is granted with directions to take appropriate steps for service of notice upon unserved respondent No. 1 without fail. On failure, First Appeal would stand dismissed against unserved respondent No. 1 without further reference to the Court of Registrar.
