L. ODEDRA Date : 09/03/2026 ORAL ORDER (PER : HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE N.S.SANJAY GOWDA) It is submitted that the respondent itself has passed away and is no more. However, the exact date of death is not known, but it is reported that the respondent had died during Covid. It is, therefore, obvious that steps to bring the legal heirs on record have not been taken within the said period. Accordingly, this appeal stands abated. Connected Civil Application also stands disposed of. (N.S.SANJAY GOWDA,J) (J. L. ODEDRA, J) Manoj Kumar Rai p. 1 Original copy of this order has been signed by the Hon'ble Judges.
