Learned counsel for the appellant very fairly acknowledges that the appellant has since died. He further states that he has contacted the son of the appellant on a number of occasions, however, he has neither approached him, nor responded to him for being impleaded as the legal heir of the appellant. It is submitted that none has contacted him after the death of the appellant. 2. In view of the above, we are satisfied that the legal heirs of the appellant are, prima facie, not interested to pursue the instant Special Appeal. The same is, therefore, accordingly dismissed for non-prosecution. Rathour (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) (J.S. Khehar, C.J.) 29.4.2010
