Heard Mr. Lobo, learned Counsel for the applicant and Mr. Ramani, learned Counsel for respondent no.1(a). 2. This is an application for bringing the legal representatives of respondent on record for which Mr. Ramani, learned Counsel for respondent no.1(a) has no objection. Accordingly, the legal representatives of respondent whose names are mentioned in paragraph No.3 of the application are permitted to be brought on record. Respondent no.1(b) being a minor, respondent no.1(a), who is her mother and whose interest is not adverse to that of respondent no.1(b) is appointed guardian of respondent no.1(b). Amendment to the cause title to be carried out within a period of two weeks. 3. The application stands disposed of. 4. The record of this application discloses that at one point of time, when respondent no.1(a) is sought to be served, notice to respondent no.1(a) was returned unserved by the bailiff of Civil Judge, Senior Division Court, Mapusa with an endorsement that respondent no.1(a) had expired. Thereafter, respondent no.1(a) has been served and is being represented by Mr. Ramani. 5. In view of the above, it is evident that the report made by the bailiff was factually incorrect. 6. In view of the above, I deem it appropriate to direct the Principal District Judge, North Goa, Panaji to call for the explanation from the concerned bailiff as to how the summons was returned unserved with an endorsement that respondent no.1(a) had expired when in fact she is alive. The explanation to be sought within a period of four weeks. The explanation along with the report be submitted to this Court within a period of two weeks thereafter. A. P. LAVANDE, J. SMA
