IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA SA No.192 of 1994 LAXMI SINGH & ORS Versus DINESH SINGH & ORS ----------- 12/ 11.02.2010 Office has noted that respondents no.1 and 4 had died much earlier and for substitution of their heirs, I.A. No. 4844 of 2003 had been filed, but the said interlocutory application for substitution stood rejected due to non-compliance of the specific order of this Court dated 14.10.2009. Although about four months have elapsed since then but no step appears to have been taken with respect to the said order. Respondent no.1 Dinesh Singh was the principal defendant in the title suit and was the sole appellant in the lower appellate court and hence he was the principal respondent and main contesting party in the instant second appeal. In the said circumstances, the dismissal of this second appeal against the said respondent no.1 Dinesh Singh has rendered the whole appeal as incompetent. Accordingly, the instant second appeal is dismissed as having become incompetent. MPS/ ( S. N. Hussain, J. )
