SANKARAN, JUDGE /TRUE COPY/ P.A.TO JUDGE Kss K.T. SANKARAN, J. ------------------------------- S.A. No. 198 OF 1996 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 16th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT On 19.11.07, two weeks' time was granted to take steps to cure the defects. It is submitted by the counsel for the appellants that a registered letter was sent to appellant No.2 with copy to others and that there is no response. It is also stated by the counsel that a letter was sent earlier to appellant No.1 which was returned stating that he is dead. Since defects are not cured and since the Second Appeal is of the year 1996, I do not think that further time need be granted. The Second Appeal is dismissed for default. However, liberty is granted to the appellants to cure the defects and to file an application to restore the Second Appeal within a period of one month. K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE btt WPC 2
