            This acquittal appeal was filed on 15.09.2022. Record reflects that after issuance of notice to other side, counsel for appellant did not appear on 22.02.2023, 24.08.2023, 23.08.2024 and 14.03.2024. Even today, neither the appellant nor his counsel is in attendance and Mr. Zameer Ali, advocate holds brief for Mr. Liaquat Ali Khaskheli, counsel for appellant, and states that latter is out of station. Record further reflects that Mr. Zamir Ali, advocate has continuously held brief for        Mr. Liaquat Ali Khaskheli on 24.08.2023, 23.08.2024 and 14.03.2025. On the last date of hearing, matter was adjourned with note of caution to the counsel for appellant to come prepared for arguments but today he has chosen to remained absent. Continuous absence of appellant and his counsel shows that they have lost interest to pursue the instant appeal. Therefore, instant criminal acquittal appeal is dismissed for non-prosecution.
