Section 34 of I.P.C. before learned 3rd Additional Sessions Judge, Thane in Sessions Case No.447 of 1995. The F.I.R. concerning this Sessions Case was filed by the applicant. The respondent Nos.1 to 3 were acquitted of the various charges by judgement and order dated 31.7.2001 against which this revision has been filed. As the revision was called out, learned Advocate Mr.Mazgaonkar upon instructions states that respondent No.1 Anil Gawas has expired. The applicant has not produced the death certificate of respondent No.1 before this Court. Since this is a statement recording the death of respondent No.1 is being made ( 2 ) by the applicant’s Advocate, who had challenged this order of acquittal, I do not wish to dispute the fact of death of respondent No.1. 3. Learned Advocate Mr.Mazgaonkar submitted that he has received instructions from his client to make a request to this Court that the revision be dismissed for want of prosecution by the applicant. In view of the request, I pass the following order :- a) Request made by learned Advocate on behalf of the applicant is granted. Revision is dismissed for want of prosecution as applied for. (R.Y.
