[3] Notice was ordered in the condone delay application on 30.04.2018 and the applicants/appellants were directed to take steps to effect service of notice upon the respondent/writ petitioner. On 04.06.2018, Mr. BR. Sharma, learned counsel, appeared for the respondent/writ petitioner and sought time to file objections. On 26.09.2019, this Court took note of the fact that the delay was not correctly shown and granted time to Mr. Th. Vashum, learned Government Advocate, to amend the condone delay application showing the actual number of days of delay, which was found to be nearly 522 days. No steps seem to have been taken in this regard but in the meanwhile, on 05.12.2019, Mr. BR Sharma, learned counsel, informed the Court that the respondent/writ petitioner was no more and that he was instructed to give the details of her LRs to the other side. On 15.04.2021, Mr. Th. Vashum, learned Government Advocate, informed the Court that the list of legal heirs of the deceased respondent has been furnished to him and sought time to verify and take suitable steps. However, as no steps were taken in that regard, this Court passed an order on 17.09.2021 to the effect that Mr. Th. Vashum, learned Government Advocate, should take necessary steps at least by the next date of hearing failing which the case would be rejected peremptorily. The matter was adjourned to 16.11.2021.
