IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA SECOND APPEAL NO. 2 OF 2009 DINU SAGUN NAIK ALIAS FOKU NAIK AND ANR., ... Appellants Versus LAMARTINE NORONHA (DECEASED) AND 19 ORS., ... Respondents Mr. P. Rao, Advocate for the appellants. Mr. J. A. Lobo, Advocate for respondent nos. 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 19, 20. Coram:- A. P. LAVANDE, J. Date:- 28th October, 2010 P.C. By order dated 27th August, 2010, the appellants were called upon to take steps in respect of respondent nos.14 and 15, who have expired, failing which the appeal as against respondent nos.14 and 15 would stand abated. 2. Pursuant to the said order, no steps were taken within stipulated time as such, the appeal stood abated as against respondent nos. 14 and 15. 3. This appeal is directed against the decree passed by the Lower Appellate Court confirming the decree passed by the Trial Court by which the suit filed by the plaintiff for declaration and permanent injunction was decreed. Since the suit was for declaration, the abatement of the appeal in so far as respondent nos. 14 and 15 are concerned would entail in dismissal of the entire appeal in as much as there cannot be two inconsistent decrees as has been held in a catena of decisions by the Apex Court. Consequently, the entire appeal stands abated. The appeal stands disposed of accordingly. A. P. LAVANDE, J. SMA
