JUSTICE JAYANT BANERJI) Despite the matter being called out twice, no one appears for the appellants. It appears that a memo reporting death of the sole respondent was filed by the learned counsel for the respondent on 18.01.2025. No steps have been taken by the appellants. The appeal therefore abates against the respondent. The record is consigned. Interim order, if any, stands vacated. Sd/- (JAYANT BANERJI) JUDGE Sd/- (T.M.NADAF) JUDGE KG List No.: 1 Sl No.: 28
