                                          Civil Appeal No. 5889 of 1983

                                        (Ranganath Misra, M. M. Dutt JJ)

                                                      03.08.1987

                                                        ORDER

1. About 17 months back the appellant had been given time by the court for compliance which
involved deposit of Rs. 270 towards printing charges. That was done when there was a failure for
over a year in complying with the Registry's requisition. Counsel for the appellant now says that it is
not necessary to prepare the paper book as it is the same as is in the connected matter. This
representation could have certainly been made either in reply to the Registry's notice or to the court
when the matter appeared on March 20, 1986. We are of the view that to allow time in a case of this
type after two years on default would mean that the control of the proceedings in court would be left
in the hands of the litigant. The prayer is dismissed and the appeal shall also stand dismissed for
non-compliance of the order.
