IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA MISC.CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 549 OF 2008 IN FIRST APPEAL NO. 15 OF 2007 M/S. RAJARAM ESTATES AND ANR. ... Applicants Versus COLLECTOR AND DISTRICT MAGISTRATE SOUTH GOA, MARGAO AND 2 ORS. ... Respondents Mr. Shirodkar, Advocate for the Appellant. Ms. R. Chodankar, AGA for Respondent nos. 1 to 4. Coram:- S. C. DHARMADHIKARI & SANTOSH BORA, JJ. Date:- 11th August, 2008 P.C. Heard. The request is to recall the Order dated 21.04.2008 passed in First Appeal no. 15/07, which dismisses the appeal as a whole. The appellant's Advocate did not take steps to serve respondent no.3 whereas rest of the respondents have been served; that there was an appearance filed on behalf of these respondents. The appeal was dismissed along with other matters which were listed because the appellant did not take necessary steps to prosecute them. 2. Now it is brought to our notice that except respondent no.3, all other respondents are duly served. Learned Advocate requests that time be granted as a last chance to serve the unserved respondents. In any event, his submission is that his appeal could not have been dismissed against the respondents who are duly served and the appellant deserves an opportunity to prosecute it on merits against them. 3. Having perused the application, we are of the opinion, that one final opportunity needs to be accorded to the appellant to serve the unserved respondents. Accordingly, it is directed that if steps are not taken to serve the respondent no. 3 Union of India by 10.09.08, the appeal will stand dismissed as against the respondent no.3 and no further application for recalling the Order or restoration of the appeal will be entertained. The Order dated 21.04.08 passed by this Court in First Appeal no. 15 of 2007 dismissing the appeal, as a whole, is recalled and the order is substituted with the above. 4. No order as to costs. Application stands disposed off accordingly. S. C. DHARMADHIKARI, J. SANTOSH BORA, J. arp/*
