When these Appeal came up for final hearing on 24.7.2008 Mr.Sahadevan had stated that Mr.Vimal Gupta would file vakalatnama on behalf of the Appellants. It appears that Mr.Sahadevan has now filed the vakalatnama on behalf of the Appellants. However, the Respondents have not been served till date. Mr.Sahadevan states that he does not have any papers in these Appeals and he does not know whether any steps were taken to serve the Respondents. He does not even bother to inform the Respondents that he has filed his vakalatnama on behalf of the Appellants. Under these circumstances, we are constrained to dismiss these Appeals. Both the Appeals stand dismissed. (S.J.KATHAWALLA, J.) (DR.S.RADHAKRISHNAN,J.) (S.J.KATHAWALLA, J.) (DR.S.RADHAKRISHNAN,J.)
