What did the court decide?
The criminal revision petition stands dismissed: learned counsel for the petitioners reported that, despite best efforts, he had no instructions from petitioner No.1 (the Company) — including none to place the death certificate of petitioner No.2, who had been representing the Company — and, petitioner No.1 being a legal entity, expressed inability to proceed for want of instructions; the court placed the submission on record and dismissed the petition without adjudicating the merits.
