JUSTICE J. C. DOSHI Date : 07/07/2026 ORDER Respondent No.1 has expired and his legal heirs are not brought on record. Learned advocate Ms Archana Amin for the appellant submitted that she has filed CA for substitute service. However, such application would not survive in view of the fact that the respondent No.1 has expired. Hence, present First Appeals stand abated as no steps have been taken to bring the legal heirs of the deceased respondent No.1 on record. Consequently, CA does not survive and stands disposed of accordingly. C/FA/2693/2008 ORDER DATED: 07/07/2026 Liberty is reserved in favour of the appellant to revive the matter by filing appropriate application to bring the legal heirs of respondent No.1 on record, subject to law of limitation. Registry is directed to return back the R & P, if any, to the concerned Court forthwith. (J. C. DOSHI,J) SHEKHAR P. BARVE Original copy of this order has been signed by the Hon'ble Judge.
