Dagdusahebd s/o Santoba Satbhai and another Mrs. M.A. Kulkarni, Advocate for the applicants. Miss. Rashmi Hardas, Advocate for respondent No.1 [CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J.] PER COURT:- 1. The appellant’s legal representatives have moved these applications. The appellant had filed this second appeal in 1996, challenging the decree of partition and separate possession etc.. After the appeal was filed, some office objections were raised. The appellant did not remove those objections and so in 1997, the registrar dismissed the appeal for default on the part of the appellant. Subsequently, in 1998 , the appellant also died. Thereafter, the respondents took out execution proceeding in the trial court and when the notice of the execution was served on the legal representatives of the appellant, they rushed to the Court and found out as 2 to what had happened to this second appeal. They moved these applications for condonation of delay and to get the order of Registrar set aside and to get themselves impleaded in place of the deceased appellant. While these applications are pending, it was informed by the respondent no.1’s advocate on oral instructions that the respondent no.2 is also reported to be dead. The appellant’s advocate however has not verified this fact and has not taken steps regarding it. However, I am inclined to allow applications subject to payment of cost of Rs.1,500/- for the reasons mentioned in the applications. The applications are allowed. The appeal be registered. The legal representatives of appellant be brought on record. Amendment be carried out immediately. The appellants now shall verify whether respondent no.2 is dead and take further steps. The appeal be fixed for admission. 10th June, 2010 ( A.V.NIRGUDE, J. ) tsk/
