IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD MONDAY, THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. BHAVANI PRASAD C.C.C.A.No.83 of 1993 Between: Mohammed Osman and 5 others .. Appellants AND D. Yadamma .. Respondent JUDGMENT: It is seen from the record that the first appellant died and his legal representatives were stated to be five in number and the second appellant also died and his legal representative was stated to be one in number. It is further seen from the record that there was delay in filing the petition to bring the legal representatives of the first appellant on record. It is also seen that when the petitions were filed, they were returned with objections and there was delay in representation to condone which C.M.P.No.18573 of 1999 was filed. This Court ordered notice to the respondent in the said petition on 09-09-1999 and it is further seen that no batta was paid by the appellants/petitioners for service of notice on the respondent as ordered by this Court since then till now. The appeal obviously stood abated in view of the death of appellants 1 and 2 and in the absence of their legal representatives being brought on record within time. In view of the default committed by the appellants/petitioners in C.M.Ps in paying batta for service of notice in C.M.P.No.18573 of 1999 and in the absence of any steps taken so far in that regard, the appeal has to fail as abated. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed as abated. No costs. _____________________ G. BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 15-02-2010 Ksn
