R3 BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS CIVIL REVISION PETITION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 17/11/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: STU THOMAS P. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- C.R.P. No.507 of 2006 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of November, 2011. ORDER Notice to the legal representatives of deceased 2nd respondent is dispensed with in view of the decision I propose to take. 2. This civil revision arises from the order dated 24.06.2005 in A.A.No.112 of 1993. That appeal was preferred by the petitioner herein against the 2nd respondent in challenge of the order passed by the Special Tahsildar (LR), Kasaragod on 30.08.1977 in O.A.No.1628 of 1976. 3. In the affidavit in support of I.A.No.2493 of 2011 to implead legal representatives of deceased 2nd respondent, it is stated that the 2nd respondent (he is the 2nd respondent in A.A.No.112 of 1993) expired on 20.12.1986. To support that, Annexure-II, photocopy of a death certificate is produced where date of death is stated as 22.12.1986 ( but either way, it makes no difference so far as this proceeding is concerned). It is seen from Annexure-I, memo stated to be filed by the counsel for respondents before the Appellate Authority (LR) on 13.06.2005 that the death of respondents was reported. Since that memo is dated 13.06.2005, death of the 1st respondent should be prior to 13.06.2005. The Appellate Authority (LR) passed the impugned order on 24.06.2005, in otherwords after the death of both the respondents, with the dead respondents on the party array. As such, the order of Appellate Authority(LR) dated CRPNo.507/2006 2 24.06.2005 is non est in which case, this civil revision is not sustainable. Proper course open to the petitioner is to request the Appellate Authority (LR), Kannur to reopen the proceedings in A.A.No.112 of 1993 impleading legal representatives of deceased respondents. With the above direction, this civil revision is closed. THOMAS P.JOSEPH, Judge. cks
