In view of the above, it is not necessary to go into the merits of the case, which would suffice the interest of justice and the same has to be considered after service of the proceedings dated 12.10.1994. The Writ Petition is disposed of directing the first respondent herein to serve a copy of the proceedings dated 12.10.1994 to the petitioners herein within a period of four weeks from the date of the receipt of a copy of this order. Thereafter, the petitioners shall file an appeal within a further period of four weeks from the date of service of copy of the proceedings. The appeal shall be disposed of on merits in accordance with law, after giving notice and opportunity to the petitioners. It is needless to say that no objection as to limitation shall be entertained. _________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) 17th February 2005 RRB ASSISTANT REGISTRAR //True Copy// SECTION OFFICER Copy To: 1.
