No. 20331 of 1999 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 26th October, 2009. J U D G M E N T On 22-10-2009, the learned counsel for the petitioners undertook before me that the petitioners would take out notice by special messenger to the legal heirs of the 3rd respondent and respondents 1 and 7 in the correct address by today. Today, the learned counsel for the petitioners submits that she was unable to contact the petitioners. This original petition is of the year 1999. Notice to the 3rd respondent was returned with the postal endorsement “addressee expired”. Notice to the 7th respondent was returned with the endorsement “no such person”. Notice to the 1st respondent has not been returned at all. The petitioners have not taken any steps to cure these defects, although the same was notified years ago. In the above circumstances, the original petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge. S.
