Aggrieved thereby, the State filed this appeal. As no notice could be served on the 1st respondent, this court by order, dated 13-02-2009, made the following order:- “Issue notice to respondents 1 and 2. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue shall take out personal notice to the respondents 1 and 2 by registered post acknowledgment due returnable in ten days and file proof of service. Post after two weeks.” Thereafter, on 26-03-2009, service of notice was awaited.

The Assistant Government Pleader is permitted to take out notice through special messenger or Mandal Revenue Inspector or Revenue Assistant and produce proof of service.

Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, none appeared for the petitioner.
