Having considered the memo of retirement of the counsel for appellants and the notice has been served on appellant Nos.1 and 4 and they jointly represented through the very same counsel and having the knowledge of the death and also letter is also specific that to bring the legal representatives of the deceased, the details has to be given. Inspite of it, the counsel submits that the appellants have not given any instructions. Hence, appellants’ counsel is permitted to retire from the case. Inspite of notice was served on appellant Nos.1 and 4 also, they have not engaged any counsel and also not turned out to pursue the matter. Hence, it appears that the appellants are not interested in pursuing the appeals. 3. In view of the discussions made above, I pass the following:
