Issues

- Application under the wrong provisions of the law
Reasoning
The application was brought under the provisions of the law for dismissal of suits for want of prosecution, not for dismissal of appeals for want of prosecution. The correct procedure is under Order XL1 rule 31 of the Civil Procedure Rules, which requires a Summons and not a Notice of Motion.
