4. It is submitted that in the month of March, 2025, a notice of the second appeal was served on the wife of the deceased proforma respondent No. 3, Late Pradip Konwar, despite being informed that Pradip Konwar has already passed away. As such, this application has been filed for informing this Court the fact that on death of Late Pradip Konwar, he is survived by his legal heirs.
5. I have considered the submissions at the bar with circumspection.
6. As the legal heirs of proforma respondent No. 3 are already before this Court, steps may be taken to substitute the legal heirs of proforma respondent No. 3 and an amended cause title may be submitted.
7. In terms of above observation, this interlocutory application stands
disposed of.
