JUSTICE R.DEVDAS) Learned counsel for the appellant submits that sole appellant died on 22.11.2023. But despite several requests made to the legal representatives of the deceased-sole appellant, no information is forthcoming from them. 2. It is seen that this appeal stands abated as against respondent No.8 by the order dated 15.11.2023. No steps have been taken in that regard also. 3. While placing submission of learned counsel for the appellant on record, the appeal stands dismissed since the legal representatives of deceased-sole appellant are not interested in pursuing the matter.
