Ever since 2004 counsel for the appellants is only seeking time to serve the respondents and particularly respondent No.6. Even after giving several opportunities spanned over a period of more than two years 6th respondent remained unserved. In fact no steps at all has been taken so far to serve the respondent. Dismissed for want of prosecution. V.K. BALI, CHIEF JUSTICE. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE. vns
