IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA FA No.617 of 1980 Anand Nand Das Versus Sachidanand Das & Ors ----------- 33. 01.07.2011 This first appeal is of the year 1980. There is only one appellant who was plaintiff in the court below. On his death a substitution application was filed which has been rejected for non-compliance of the order dated 6.2.2009. The said substitution application was also for substitution of the legal representatives of the deceased respondent Nos. 3 and 4. In view of the fact that as far back as in the year 2009 the said substitution application has been rejected, the appeal has become now incompetent as abated as a whole. Accordingly, this first appeal is dismissed as abated against the concerned legal representatives of the sole appellant and the respondent Nos. 3 and 4. S.S. (Mungeshwar Sahoo,J.)
