Notice sent to Respondent No.1 is returned on 10-12-1999 with an endorsement ‘died’, but no steps have been taken to bring the legal representatives of Respondent No.1 on record. Earlier, when the matter has come up before the Court for orders, this Court by order dated 25-04-2006 granted two weeks time for complying the office objections viz., for bringing the LRs on record, in default, the appeal stands dismissed as against R-1. 3. Since the order dated 25-04-2006 has not been complied with, the appeal against R-1 stood dismissed as abated. The appeal as against the 3rd respondent, who is the legal representative of the 2nd respondent, also gets abated in view of the law declared in PAPANNA AND ANOTHER V. STATE OF KARNATAKA AND OTHERS[1]. 4. In the result, the appeal is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ A.
