Respondents....Opposite parties. ----------- 04- 4.8.2010 Heard Mr. Mahesh Prasad No.2 for the petitioners. This application has been filed by the appellants of L.P.A. No.1271 of 1997, which was dismissed by a Division Bench of this Court for default on 25.6.2008. 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. The present petitioners have preferred First Appeal No.834 of 1977, which, in its turn, had arisen out of a partition suit. The first appeal was dismissed by a learned Single Judge of this Court by judgment and decree dated 13.8.1997. Aggrieved by the judgment, the petitioners preferred the said L.P.A. No.1271 of 1997, which was dismissed for default on 25.6.2008. In view of the position that it arises out of a 3 partition suit raising issues of facts, the petitioners’ case has been examined by two Courts. We are not inclined to restore L.P.A. No.1271 of 1997. 3. In the result, this application is dismissed. (S K Katriar, J.) (J.N. Singh, J.) S.K.Pathak/
