However soon after the case was dismissed for non prosecution on 07.09.2018, it is seen that the appellants filed the Restoration applications on 24.09.2018, within 17 days of the dismissed order. This does point out the intention of the appellants of deliberately not appearing on the previous occasions, so that the matter could get prolonged. The plea of the appellant Sh.
