Sarawswati Gajanan Warde & ors. Applicants Vs. The State of Maharashtra Appellant Mr.Rajiv Patil for applicants. Ms.S.P.Manchekar, AGP for State. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE & D.G.KARNIK,JJ. January 6, 2009. P.C. . Heard Mr.Patil, the learned counsel for the applicants who are the LRs of the original claimant - Shri Gajanan Narayan Warde. LAR No.12 of 1995 was initiated by Shri Gajanan Narayan Warde and during its pendency he died. No steps were taken to bring his LRs on record even when the Reference was decided by the award dated 18/10/2001. . The said Award was challenged by the State 2 Government in First Appeal No.419 of 2002 which appeal has been dismissed by us already. It is, therefore, claimed that the applicants were not a party to the reference and when the award impugned in First Appeal No.419 of 2002 has been dismissed by us, this application by way of cross-objection does not survive. The same is hereby dismissed. . This order will not prevent the applicants in approaching the reference Court for taking due steps as permissible in law. . Civil applications do not survive and the same stand disposed. (D.G.KARNIK,J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE,J.)
