Notice was ordered in the appeal. On getting a report that the sole plaintiff was reported to be dead, appeal was posted for taking steps. No steps were taken and no representation was made by the appellants and in consequence to which, the appeal was dismissed for default. The appellants filed I.A.No.1936/2015 for condonation of delay of 1043 days and I.A.No.1937/201
