IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH, AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 16478 OF 1996 Date: 24.01.2007 BETWEEN: 1. The Chairman, and another …. PETITIONERS And 1. A. Lakshmana Rao, C/o. A. Appa Rao, D.No.61-4-5, Venkannapalem, Malkapuram, Visakhapatnam (died vide his legal representatives Respondents 3 to 6), and others. …. RESPONDENTS ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the order dated 30.04.1996 passed by the Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Visakapatnam, the first respondent herein, whereby it allowed the claim of the first respondent for payment of Rs.43,200/- with interest at 10% per annum from 01.06.1992 to till the date of payment. When the case is called, no one represented for the parties. However, from a perusal of the record it appears that the first respondent, in whose favour the impugned award was made, died and in his place his legal representatives were brought on record as respondents 3 to 6. Subsequently, the writ petition was dismissed for default against the respondents 3 to 6 by order dated 14.02.2003. In view of the same no cause in the writ petition survives, as the writ petition gets abated in the absence of the legal representatives of the deceased first respondent. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed as abated. No costs. ________________________ (C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy J.) 24th January, 2007 Js.
