' Mr. Mehr Khan Malik, learned Advocate-on-Record for the appellant states that his client is still within time to submit the requisite number of Paper Books at appeal stage in that the same can be filed within 60 days of the Leave Grant Order dated 16-2-2001. The Paper Books have been prepared and the same can be submitted in the Office any time, today.
2. Be that as it may, the fact remains that when the leave was granted on 16-2-2001 in the presence of the learned Advocate-on-Record and it was ordained that: "Both the parties should maintain status quo till the decision of the appeal which should be fixed within two months as a short point is involved". The expected compliance with notice dated 3-3-2001, today, the 19th instant, would be of no help to the appellant as he has failed to comply with the direction contained in the show-cause notice.
3. For the reasons detailed in the show-cause notice, the appeal is dismissed for non-prosecution.
