Appeal remains defective for the reason that respondents 1 and 2 are not served notice. On going through the award we find that MACT has granted reasonable compensation for the appellant under various heads. Since there is no merit in the appeal, we do not propose to issue fresh notice to respondents 1 and 2. Accordingly appeal is dismissed as devoid of any merit. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge.
