OSA No. 14 of 2006. 9.8.2010 Present: Mr. H.K. Bhardwaj, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Anand Sharma, Advocate for respondent No.1. Mr. Ajay Sharma, Advocate for respondent No.5. Heard Mr. H.K. Bhardwaj, Advocate learned counsel for the appellant and Mr. Anand Sharma, Advocate learned counsel for respondent No.1. It has been submitted by Mr. H.K. Bhardwaj that respondent No.1, Shri Nika Ram has already died. L.Rs. of contesting respondent/plaintiff (Nika Ram) are to be substituted. He has written many letters to Parkash Chand, appellant/defendant on 12.5.2008, 17.5.2009 and 2.7.2009 and last letter dated 15.5.2010 was addressed to him through registered post stating that on receipt of instructions, application shall be moved and L.Rs. of Nika Ram shall be brought on record. Despite writing several letters, instructions are not being obtained. As such, in the absence of instructions, he is unable to pursue the present appeal. In these circumstances, it appears that the appellant is not interested to pursue this appeal. Since, steps for bringing on record L.Rs. of contesting respondent, Nika Ram, have not been taken under law, therefore, the appeal is dismissed as abated. Pending applications, if any, shall also stand disposed of. (R.B. Misra) Judge. (V.K. Sharma) Judge. August 9, 2010. (cr)
